A Peasant is an appeasing & humble person.
They historically appease the arrogance of their ruling nobility.
They please the greed of their lords & masters.
A peasant is inferior to the superiority of the court of a monarch.
A Pleasant person pleases others.
An unpleasant person displeases others.
Pleasant people are humble & pleasing.
Arrogant, greedy, superior people do not need to be pleasant.
Nor do they consider themselves unpleasant.
Nor do they consider themselves peasants.
It is the peasant who considers the ruling classes to be greedy, arrogant, superior & unpleasant.
Yet still the peasant pleases & appeases like a good humble servant.
