#3How to enter a city like a king?
Humbly, on a donkey. As one who comes to serve instead of one who comes to be served.
What a difference from what we can expect from our current leaders, kings or king wannabees alike.

Yeah but they killed that guy later in the week, so one can understand why other kings declined to follow his example.

#9Does anyone know the literature on adding people or individuals to groups, even an individual to a city? And the implications or outcomes of adding individuals of differing characteristics, potential for power, wealth, success, status, displacement, influence, or any number of other qualities, etc. I suspect this highlights fundamental elements of our social nature, our culture and societies, their values and problems. Maybe certain of those with power and influence will never want an honest and revealing evaluation on the matter, especially on specific entities.

Has someone run the numbers on how likely you are to be murdered/killed in war/assassinated as a King, historically?
