The sensible response to an uncertain world is to be modest and cautious in one's plans.
You cannot charm a snake by slapping it, so don't bad-mouth the king. Don't even think of it.
Recognize your limits; work out what you can realistically hope to achieve and stick to that. This is the course of wisdom. Giving way to frustration (in this case, voicing criticisms of the king) may undermine all you have worked for. Saying what you really think may be satisfying at the time, but later it will hurt you and perhaps others as well. Foolish words are never a good idea.
