Instead of using the negative force, the king should try to turn it into a positive force.
But sitting there, comfortably on the 'shrinks' bed, he probably doesn't have a reason, a motivator (why) to do it. Why come out of this comfort zone when we can feel fine from where we are?
Unless… something happens either around him or to him, that opens his eyes a bit. If he wants them to be opened…

Dear Liina.L. sooner or later he will have to open his eyes and soul to the LIGHT. Evil never wins.

Thelma: exactly… all his life. And this is probably a reason why he is so comfy – staying the same way as always, because it is just comfortable. (Although as it is said: change is the law of the nature… so he is quite unnatural. Staying the same for the whole life of his.)
Sometimes it is hard to admit things.
Sometimes it is hard to change things.
Sometimes it is hard to start to live fully, because we want to have a wall between us and life.
Love to You also,
L.L.
Liina L, yes knowing how he thinks, no wonder he had the deppression .. all his life. ;]

Parfois vous devez faire attention avec vos remarques et mots, parce qu’ils peuvent être vus à travers. Parfois nous apprenons également, cela nous avons été durs à quelqu’un dans un moment et nous le regrettons pour des âges. Car parfois nous sommes les humains justes.
Baisers,
Liina L.

You are very candid. Thanks
Bisous.
Thelma: it seems to me, he has had the depression for quite a while now.
The law of Karma. He has put an innocent man into prison and immediately he had depression. The feelings of the innocent man returned to him.
Evil thoughts and evil actions. He was trying to amuse himself with other’s sufferings… ;]
LOVE.

That “president”,like you said yesterday Marie-Christine(lol)likes to steal pens for example and eat chocolate.Je repond à l’humour noir par du sarcasme et je ris toute seule..morte de rire!
Someone told me the other day about this local judge who recently died and left all his money to a church that he never even attended. I knew the judge – everyone around here knows everyone, in a small town anonymity doesn’t exist. “Trying to make up for all the crimes he committed in life,” I said, “Suppose he means to buy his way into heaven now.”
Certainly I afford due respect to law officers and public officials wherever they appear – I nod my head, “Yes, Sir…No, Sir…Have a nice day, Sir,” and I’ve never been in any sort of trouble with the law, seldom even a minor traffic violation. Nonetheless, the close-up look a small-town life affords one of those who seek to enforce “justice” is often anything but a pretty picture. My dad loves and collects old Western movies – John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Gregory Peck, Henry Fonda – the kind wherein the “good guys” always wear white hats, and the “bad guys,” black. Life is not that! As I have perceived from knowing personally many who stood on either side of that line drawn in the sand – both law-men and “outlaws” – there is really little difference between them. There is good and bad to be found in the hearts of each, the lawmaker, as well as the law-breaker. And often, in many cases, if their white and black hats were removed, it would be impossible to distinguish which is which. I have seen law-men (I say men because there are very few women in the field in these parts) who would lie and deceive, steal and commit acts of treachery and treason, even commit the very same crimes for which they arrested others on a daily basis. At the same time, I have seen convicted criminals – people who broke the law virtually at every bend in the road – and yet who possessed an innate and unshakable sense of justice and honor, compassion and chivalry, who would not think of harming another, other than perhaps the law-men who sought to bring them down, or other “criminals” who sought to stick a knife in their back. And, I might add, I have seen stupidity and immaturity, as well as intelligence and even great wisdom, on both sides of the law.
Life is not all black and white – the challenge we face in judging others as “worthy” or even “safe” to be around is much more complex than that presented in the old Hollywood Westerns. This is why I like books that deal with what I call “questionable” characters (outlaws, criminals, sneaks and thieves – the “bad” and the “ugly”, as well, not just the good) and present these in a humanistic and sympathetic light, as capable of great leaps of faith and compassion and conviction, capable of recognizing and striving for justice and right, even in a world upside-down and inside-out. One of my favorite films of all time is “Wild At Heart,” partly because it forces the viewer to question the precepts of “justice” and “right” that we have all been brainwashed into accepting as written in stone. It encourages the viewer to take a deep look into the heart of an “outlaw” (and his girl) and find there only love and goodness, honor and devotion.
