That he already has things as he likes them is the rational argument that Creon uses to convince Oedipus that he has no designs on the throne of Thebes in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Creon identifies King Oedipus, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, as the ultimate powerholder in Thebes. He says that he has no desire to change the situation. The way things currently are, Creon states that he gets everything that he needs and wants without the stresses of being responsible and making decisions.
