The Prince Question 4

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven and blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. If a person is not very forward and outgoing, then they will be in heaven. Unlike on earth when a person is very brave and forward, they receive less in heaven, since they already have everything on earth.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. The people who show their feelings will receive feelings from others. It would be better than being very withdrawn about one's feelings, because the people would not know how to react to that person. If the prince acted like that, the people would not know what to do and would not think it proper to show emotions themselves.

Blessed are the pure of heart, for they will see God. To be a prince, they would have to be corrupt in some way just to stay in power, which would mean that they would not see God in the end. They would instead see Hell and the bad things that would come from living their lives corruptly.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Because of wars, princes would not be able to fulfill a peaceful life. They have to start or go into war against other kingdoms, which would not be good on their part for keeping their lives full of peace instead of hatred and war.
