Imagine this a life without the need to worry about the price of food, clothes, gadgets or basically anything and everything under the sun. Cool huh?
A life so glamorous and stunningly blinding your reality anchors just snap! But sadly as seductive as it sounds being a Prince isn't all that perfect specially when the wheel of life starts turning. When the prince with one snap of a finger gets whatever the world has to offer becomes a pauper.
A prince dethroned stripped of all the tittles fame and luxuries life has to offer.
This story is about the prince who thought he had it all. He spent his gold without thinking. Investing time and gold on people who only enjoyed his company as long as treasures are rewarded. He shared his luxurious life with all the vultures around. Far and wide the pince was well known for his overwhelming generosity and innocence.
He helped both the rich and the poor, the good and the bad. Allies and foes. In his blinded eyes everyone deserved a helping hand. And as such the vultures and hyenas eyes glistened with all the leftovers they can salvage being the scavengers that they are.
The prince went on with his life without a care in the world wasting all of his precious gold the queen and king gave him.
Not knowing that the queen and king are steadily growing weary of the prince's unjust and lavish life style.
The wise king and queen wanted to teach the prince a lesson and as such decided to give the prince a test to see if he was indeed rightful for the crown. The test albeit simple was so crucial it can decide the future of the prince.The prince blinded with all the false words of praise from the vultures and hyenas didn't even consider the remote possibility of him failing such a test. And for this test he didn't even bother with preparations
On the day of the test he came weakened and clouded with wine because in his mind all his "followers" would back him up no matter what.
A blinded and foolish prince so over confident and air headed he thought everything would go his way
Seeing this the King and Queen became angered and with furious words stated
"Is this is how you think a Prince should act like so be it!"
The King and Queen furious, in chorus stated
"Your test is to walk in a Straight line!"
The prince in shock and disbelief laughed mockingly and said,
"So this is the test the so called wise rulers are only capable of!"
With the cheers of the false believers the prince in high spirits started to walk to prove himself rightful
And almost immediately the power of wine took effect. And the prince toppled face down.
The prince who fell facedown fell asleep due to his drunkenness. And when he woke up his whole world turned upside down.
His expensive clothes turned into rags, his castle into a haystack and his gold into coal.
The so called friends and believers who swore to stood by through of all magically vanished.
That was when reality struck him and he finally understood the error of his ways
Try as he might to fix the error of his ways his parents decision has been made and reversal was impossible.
The Prince has now become a pauper.
A life where he would need to beg for gold just to have 1 meal a day. A life where everything he sees he can't own. A life where people look down and scorn him.A life laced with bitterness and failure that escape seems impossible.
So what is the prince to do now that he has lost everything? Did he succumb to his misfortunes and dark trials? No he didn't he opened his once gold blinded eyes and started seeing the world for that it really is. An Unjust world filled with manipulative people and opportunists waiting for the right time or prey before they strike. He learned the importance of gold and true bonds
He learned that life is a viscous cycle of ups and downs, and that its a wheels that continuously spins around and around to ensure that what comes up must come down and how he is steadily working to restore is nobility.
And who might that prince be? Well that's me!
I guess the lesson here is to stop trusting too easily being too kind and letting opportunists and money blind you and make you weak.
