Is there any real solution to Aesop's fable "The Frogs Desiring a King?"?

It's a clever tale that the frogs should really have been content to live without a king. They were happy and lived free. But the discontents stirred up trouble. The first time Jove sent them a log not to rule but to appease any discontent and live happily and free as they were created to be. But the discontents did it again. This time Jove gave them a "bad king" who was indeed stronger and ruled over them and ate up their contented lives as if it were nothing. But it was too late for the frogs to have their freedom back. Time had ended that.
The best solution is to understand why what you had in the first place worked so well as it did too last for hundreds of years. And be content with it. And pass that on to the present and future generations. To live free and content.

Better no king than a cruel king , goes back to instinct leader of the pack who makes the biggest splash , then the leader has more and wants to keep it kings , now the mega rich , its about over coming instinct evolving in brain and consciousness as the population increase in goodness kings will become unacceptable as many other thoughts , feelings , and actions , we all still have and do , he without sin cast the first stone , its a slow process.

Don't ask God for a King; rather, let each learn to live under own "vine and fig tree," aka the I Am realization. Related: "Return to the One: Plotinus's Guide to God-Realization;" "The Path of the Higher Self;" "Man, Master of His Destiny."
