Features: Do you want to be a king, desire wealth and fame, and be known everywhere? Do you hope to always be the center of attention wherever you go? Do you wish to be the focus of people's attention every moment, every day? Kings are never alone. At every moment, someone is watching them—sometimes their bodyguards, sometimes thousands of people on the streets. They are never alone; everyone recognizes their face. They must be cautious in their actions, because what they do cannot be kept secret. What a king says today will be known to the whole world tomorrow. He must speak carefully, because there is always someone listening. This is not like ordinary work, where you can leave at 5 p.m. Kings have no vacations. Kings are always kings—kings every moment. Kings are never alone, but they always feel lonely. Who will be a king's friend? Who will share that loneliness with him?
