Louis the 14th thought that he was the center of our solar system in the whole world, just as how the sun works today. And the «Sun King» was given his admiration and pleasure to all the people of the earth. Hence, he was a king just like the sun!
Louis the 14th spread his grace just like radiates from the sun. Therefore, everyone at earth had to know his presence, and that he had the power of the world, regardless of where people came from. Louis the 14th was king in France in the period from 1643 to 1715. He was responsible for making the castle called for Versailles, since it is located in Versailles. This castle is the main work in the French baroque. Many people were dictated to build this castle, and the «Sun King» had even a playroom in this castle. But was Louis the 14th life just success and lucky faces? No, it was not. He had to take some battles during his life, he experienced death in his family and also around in other places, and he had problems with believing in a religion. Accordingly, the power he had cracked in several ways.
Versailles is a suburb of Paris, and the castle is located 23 km southwest from the city center of Paris. Going internationally is about visiting this castle, the enormous building with many rooms, and there is also a big water plant there, and this water plant is so big and takes so much water that France can just use it one day a year!
You cannot claim to be a human use outside all human beings although you are a king or a queen in a country. Today, this is transparent for many people. All of us are humans, and nobody can state his or her power over all other else of the people. Hence, we are all equal as humans, and we have the same society value, but there are differences between us when coming to competence and research background. The persons knowing much and more than the average are often getting better and more attractive positions than somebody else.
Building Versailles implied a number of efforts, and much planning and thinking about the architecture. More than 36 000 workers were involved in building the castle, and when it was finished, it could accommodate up to 5 000 persons. That was amazing in that time, and it is still a large castle in the world nowadays. In Versailles, there are 1 400 fountains and 400 sculptures. The palace was built to impress, and it marked and still marks grandeur and splendor! You cannot discuss and talk about buildings in the world without mention Versailles! This is a great place through all the human history.
When the French Revolution got there in 1789, the king Louis the 16ht was executed, but it happened in the year 1793. The slogan of the French Revolution was: «Freedom, equality and brotherhood». Therefore, the Bible and the fact that there is just one blood in the world, is correct for all humanity through all times. The problems arise when discrimination and racism are prevalent in groups and in the nations. The French Revolution has learned us that freedom is no matter of course, and that we should fight everywhere in the landscapes and in the cityscapes to win the battles of different issues and cases. Conflicts should be met with understanding and empathy, but we should never accept someone to be better than us. Life is about winning the games from the start to the end. And trust for environments disappears when things are solving in wrong directions!
