Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. (মুকুট না আগুনের ডালা)

A high position achieved after much labour brings with it a heavy burden of responsibilities, anxiety for preserving it and fears of losing it. According to English essayist Francis Bacon the path to fortune and great place is slippery to which the rise is laborious and by pains men come to greater pains but the fall is sudden and complete. This also explains why a king cannot sleep at night. It happens, because he is worried round the clock for his people and kingdom. The burden of constructing a statecraft or big responsibilities always keeps him concerned. Then it is because he remains in constant fear of losing his crown, fear of the enmity from within and outside and the fear of attacks from his counterparts. Thus his very life is endangered. Similarly, a person with great responsibilities remains always in anxiety because he has to assure that his charges are being borne well. A simple mistake in his case may prove disastrous. A man of great position has three enemies. First, he has his green-eyed rivals from his own group, which he is not aware of. Second, he has straight enemies. Finally, he himself is an enemy to himself as he with all his cases, responsibilities, lobours and desires for fame and glory goes away from his true self, complicates himself and destroys his peace. It is common truth that a simple, plain and unambitious man has no enemy. He has peace, sleep of night and a life of comfort. But a sophisticated man of high position has no peace because his task troubles him, his ambition and fears haunt him and his failures frustrate him. He is an unfortunate man of many woes.
