Dear princess, sometimes having to live within these very narrow confines one has to live within as a royal, can be, honestly, really difficult.
You can’t fail, there is no room for just doing a lot of the foolish things everybody else gets to do.
But there also an upside of all this pressure to be virtuous and be a good example.
You get to live a life of beauty and honesty.
You get very good friends, and at the end the day you get these deep and lasting relationships.
That brings you something that is much more important than all the foolery.
It brings you happiness, and a lasting life.
I know, my own life has been one of constant pressure on what I was supposed to do. People don’t like the philosophers to be fooling around.
But the people I get to meet on my journey, the friends I get to have are these amazing, world changing people, who really have quality.
If you make that into true love, imagine the happiness you get.
So these are some of the trade offs.
It is hard to have to living a virtuous life. But the hard work you put into it, gives you a lot of adventure with those you find your way.
G-d bless the will to do good in this world, and find true love.
