Educational Q&A
In political and personal crisis, one should not be intimidated by opportunists who exploit a ruler’s misfortune; steadiness preserves honor and protects loyal allies from despair.
A son addresses someone close (implicitly a leader or prince), warning that when the king is in distress, ambitious people will covet the realm; he urges fearlessness, morale among friends, and avoidance of conduct that invites mockery.
