Everyone has two slaves. Everyone is a prince and a princess.
Oh, human! One of the Super Pickles - Pickle with Eggs, how lucky you are to be born with both male and female slaves serving you. They not only provide all their hard-earned money for your spending but also willingly do everything for you. When you're thirsty, they rush to bring water; when you're hungry, they quickly prepare food for you. When you were young, they washed your feet, face, cleaned up after you, treated you better than their own parents. Once you could take care of yourself, they spent all they had on your education for decades until you finished school. Then, they would worry about building a house for you and finding you a partner. After everything was ready, you finally became an adult, got a job, formed your own small family, and found someone closer to you than them. By then, they had grown old, their hair turned white, and their backs hunched. The female slave's complexion was no longer rosy, and the male slave's posture was no longer upright. They had become like an old garment or a broken-down antique car, not only outdated in style but also far less functional. Yet, even so, they neglected their own maintenance and hurriedly took care of your household chores and helped look after your children, taking on what should have been your responsibilities.
Since you came into their lives, whether it was delicious food, fun toys, or useful items, they always kept them for you. Even if they had money, they would save it for you. Of course, they might get angry sometimes, just as animals can get angry. During those times, they may scold or criticize you, but immediately afterward, they would say, "My dear little ancestor, please don't do this again in the future, okay?" Listen to these words. Don't they sound like slaves? With such two slaves serving you, what else could you possibly be dissatisfied with or discontented about?
Since your birth, they have treated you better than themselves, and this devotion remains unaffected by external changes. Whether you are a high-ranking official or a prisoner, they treat you the same way. In times of hardship, your closest partner might abandon you; when you have no achievements, your spouse and children might despise and complain about you. But they will not. No matter what situation you are in, they remain loyal and devoted to you. Even if the whole world abandons you, they will not leave you. Even if you become a fool or a vegetative state patient, they will not forsake you. Where else can you find such loyal and free slaves? Isn't this a gift bestowed upon you by heaven? What more could you be unsatisfied with, ungrateful for, or feel inferior about?
