A story of the servants who don't serve.

blissed-secret

Once upon a time, in a peninsular kingdom, there ruled a queen.


Her ministers, arrogant and egoistic fools, had forgotten the very purpose of their positions: to serve the people. Instead, they began recklessly throwing the hard-earned tax money of working citizens at the poor—not out of compassion, but as a tool to manipulate the minds of the middle, lower-middle, and impoverished classes.

These ministers, drunk on power, started abusing their authority. They offered favors to a select few elites while intentionally oppressing anyone who dared to question their actions. They even went as far as using the kingdom's own servants to silence dissent.

What these idiotic lotus-jockeys failed to see was this: their actions were pushing the hardworking middle class into debt. And in their desperation, those burdened by that debt began seeking loopholes—any means necessary—to escape the crushing weight.

So ask yourself: Are these ministers truly good ministers?

 

 

 

The moral of the story is this:
The actions and decisions of a king or queen—and their ministers—have a direct impact on the lives of their people. Leadership is not a crown to be worn for personal gain, but a duty to be carried with humility and wisdom.

A true ruler never forgets that power must be shared, not hoarded.
And a truly happy kingdom is one where power never lies solely in the hands of its rulers—but in the hearts and voices of its people.
