Humanity is like a many young heirs of a king, to whom the king promised good positions and secure future in days to come if they devoted to governing themselves well. But in fear that the kingdom will be taken from them and given to some other of their siblings and that they will end up with nothing, they start plotting how to assassinate their father and the rest of the siblings, and seize power themselves. Although they could have asked for anything from the treasury, some get caught stealing from it instead and suffer great embarrassments before the court. Many of them being envious of one another, set the other up for failure. The king catches many in such petty schemes, and all the schemers lose their positions as ones unfit to rule when this is exposed. If only they stayed at peace and believed the father's promise!
