I see that. It all depends on the level from which you view the situation. That is, through the eyes of whom.....each level offers a different "view" and there might be an infinite number of levels and more created each day.
I am currently of the "opinion" that each of us chooses the pre-existing timeline we wish to experience and then choose to be born into it. and, there we are. I know I was given many options once I was "born again" and chose during this experience what I would become in the mind. However, the broad landscape is "set" and everyone will not be a king even if all desire. And, yes, I am aware of the argument that we are all kings.
Perhaps, I chase my own tail.
