This too will pass

Hmmn, I cannot paste so I'll just summarize the story...this is not mine There was a great king who ruled a great kingdom and of course, he thought himself great...then one day an army attacked his kingdom, the king was brave and prepared but the attacking force was too great, they overcame his army and he was forced to flee, he flee for his dear life and came to a dead end, he stood at a top of a rocky valley a thousand times deep, he heard his pursuers coming nearer, the by the light of the sun his ring shone and he saw the message inside, "this too will pass", suddenly the king thought, "yes, this too will pass, only a few days ago ago I was enjoying my kingdom. I was the mightiest of all kings yet today I'm running from my enemies and my luxuries are gone, but this day of danger too will pass."...so the king found courage and peace and was not afraid anymore. He then gathered his forces again and regained his throne, his people rejoiced him, he was a much loved king again and he felt his pride, but the diamond glinted and he remembered to look, "this too will pass". He fell silent and his face changed, from an egoist to utter humbleness"...He continued to role even more greatly and his people loved him much more than they did before...he became greater than great, he became humble If this too will pass, it's not yours The defeat was not yours, the victory is not yours You are but a watcher, everything passes Whatever state our live are now, say this "this too will pass" What do you think?
