Everyone lives with the king’s mistakes.

It’s a heavy burden to be in charge. Or, at least it should be. I assume anyone who wants to be in charge is either a dangerous megalomaniac or forced into the role to prevent a bad person from seizing power.
I also wonder if the people in those roles even know which of the two types they are. It’s an easy lie, to tell yourself and to believe yourself, that your need to rule is altruistic. It seems to me that very few terrible people realize that they’re terrible.

I’ll disagree with that slightly, I think there’s a third type into which most leaders fall – clueless dullards. Our entire society is built to pressure people to “advance” so a lot of people climb the ladder until they’ve reached the point where they suck so bad they can go no farther. Wear a tie, get a promotion otherwise you’re a drugged out communist.
