Excellent cartoon.
What’s that old saying, Power is taken, not given.
(I am lousy at quotes)
When I was in management, we nurtured the minions dreams, without feeding them facts. Constantly controlling their mindset with positive reinforcement with a smile, that they could never make it on their own.
I have found that most people are too lazy to research and plan out “dreams” or lack the courage to pursue them. Yes, it is hardwork. But, if you can hang in there and build momentum, you may be king.
I quit my job and started my own little company. I have an idea for another that I am outlining now. I can’t predict the future, but I am grateful no one is squashing my enthusiam.
I guess that is why I like gapingvoid cartoons so much, “you laugh at what is, and hope for what could be.“
Thank you, Hugh!

When faced with never being the king, many will justify that they are not really pawns, but rather Knights (I always liked the horse shaped chess ones best!). The image of being a knight is a romantic and adventurous notion. Knights make things happen.
If you can be a Knight, then you have what it takes to be a King, you just need to create your own kingdom. It is for this that many toil away day after day, striving to create our own empires. Yet it is easy to get caught in the trap of just working hard. Like the pawn in the cartoon, many of us will mistakenly labor at the wrong task for a lifetime, missing the chance to fulfill our true desires

At the end of the game, they go back in the same box.
