power and self-control
Nickolas 2022-04-23 07:01:13
"The King's Speech" at least clarified a misunderstanding. We have always thought that the Duke of Windsor, who "loved beauty but not the country" since childhood, is so great, but we don't know that in the other party's context, the concepts of power and democracy are far from ours. In his society, power is just a burden to him, so he chooses to escape. Even so, he can still live a prosperous life. The Duke of Windsor is not necessarily a coward. Maybe he just has self-knowledge, or maybe he is a hedonist. When the beauty of the country can't have both, he will take the second place.
Alas, only limited power can produce self-control, and unlimited power will lead to the expansion of desire.
