In ancient times, there was a powerful kingdom whose king was consumed by greed. To expand his territory and wealth, he led his armies to war, seizing and plundering the resources and wealth of many weaker nations. The people suffered greatly, and the kingdom was in chaos. The king, however, reveled in his endless power and wealth, showing no remorse. Eventually, his tyranny led to rebellion, and his kingdom fell. This story warns us that using force to take what one wants isn't a sustainable approach; only by ruling with compassion and justice can a kingdom gain the trust and support of its people, bringing prosperity and peace.
