Each person has two slaves, each person is a princess and a prince.
Oh, human, how fortunate you are. From the moment you are born, you have a male and a female slave attending to your every need. They not only give you all their hard-earned money but also do everything for you. When you're thirsty, they quickly bring you water; when you're hungry, they rush to cook for you. In your early years, they wash your feet, clean your face, and take care of your waste needs, treating you better than their own parents. Once you can handle these tasks yourself, they exhaust all their resources to fund your education, supporting you for decades until your schooling is complete. Then, they work tirelessly to help you build a home and find a partner. By the time all this is done, you've become an adult, with a job, your own small family, and a partner closer to you than they are. Meanwhile, they've grown old, their hair turned white, their backs hunched. The female slave's complexion is no longer rosy, and the male slave's posture is no longer upright. They’ve become like an old, worn-out piece of clothing or a broken-down antique car—outdated in style and functionality. Yet, despite this, they neglect their own upkeep and hurry to do housework for you and take care of your children, taking on responsibilities that should be yours.
Since you came into their lives, whether it’s delicious food, fun toys, or useful items, they save everything for you. Even if they have money, they set it aside for you. Of course, they sometimes get angry and yell, just as animals do. When they're upset, they may scold or criticize you, but immediately after, they'll say, "My dear little ancestor, please, don't do that again, alright?" Listen to those words—don't they sound like slaves? With such devoted slaves serving you, what could possibly leave you unsatisfied or discontented?
Since your birth, they've treated you better than themselves, and their dedication remains unaffected by external changes. Whether you're a high-ranking official or a prisoner, they remain steadfast in their loyalty toward you. In times of trouble, even your closest companion might abandon you, and your spouse and children might resent or look down on you when you haven’t achieved much. But they never will. Regardless of your circumstances, they remain loyal and supportive. Even if the entire world turns its back on you, even if you become mentally incapacitated or a vegetative state, they won't leave you. Where else can you find such faithful, free slaves? Isn't this a gift from heaven? With all this, how could you still feel dissatisfied, ungrateful, or inferior?
