I just kind of accidental walked to our book closed, took out the book The Buddha and his Dhamaa, opened it somewhere, and found this:
34. “When I see how the nature of pleasure and pain are mixed, i consider royalty and slavery as the same; a king does not always smile, nor is a slave always in pain.
35. “Since to be a king involves a wider range of responsibility, therefore, the sorrows of a king are great; for a king is like a peg, – he endures trouble for the sake of the world.
36. “A king is unfortunate, if he places his trust in his royalty which is apt to desert and loves crooked turns; and, on the other hand, if he does not trust in it, then what can be the happiness of a timid king?
37. “And since after even conquering the whole earth, one city only can serve as a dwelling place and even there only one house can be inhabited, is not royalty mere labour for others?
38. “And even in royalty nothing more than one pair of garments is all he needs, and just enough food to keep off hunger; so only one bed, and only one seat is all that a king needs; other distinctions ar only for pride.
Just what I needed today, so Infinite Intelligence is there and helping me, and you.
