Once a king who felt victim to the ebbs and flows of his mind gathered his wisest advisers and set them a task: "Produce for me an artifact that whenever I am low will make me feel better and whenever I am too high and mighty will steady my state and bring me balance." The advisers duly reported back to him a few days later and the wisest presented the king with a golden ring. The king put the ring on and noticed that when he looked carefully, he could see the inscribed legend, "This too will pass".
