An ordinary labourer is said to lead a far happier life than a king. After having worked hard throughout the day, the labourer enjoys a good night’s sleep without a care in the world. On the other hand, a king cannot sleep peacefully. He tosses and turns in his bed because he is full of tension. He has to cope with many worries. Similarly, a rich industrialist has to deal with and overcome several problems during the day. His mind is full of these problems when he goes to bed at night, whereas an ordinary worker in his factory has no such problems to deal with. He has put in the required hours of work during the day and goes home a contended person. This shows how a wealthy person contracts many diseases and ailments that an ordinary healthy person has not even heard of, thus proving the truth of the saying that uneasy lies the head that wears the crown of responsibilities.
