We Shall Serve You No More (Words To Elate) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Slavery is a sad part of history that a lot of people would rather not want to talk about, they wish it was swept under the rug as the stories are so distressing & so heart wrenching that it would be better if no one ever spoke about this dark past at all. Debates on such topics have created so much division in the society, social tensions are back on the rise. Descendants of those slaves want these issues to be discussed in public squares, they want this history to be fully taught in school curriculums so as not to repeat itself, many still harbor the grievances and pain they inherited from their once subjugated ancestors, they want the society to come clean and atone for the sins of the forefathers. Descendants of slave owners on the other hand would like to keep things on the hush hush, they believe such discussions may create unnecessary friction in the society, they think there is no reason they should be treated with hatred when they weren't alive at the time, the people who perpetrated those crimes are long gone, why should the innocent be punished for crimes that they never even witnessed themselves? Arguments over this issue keep going back and forth and no-one ever seems to be winning the case against the other. There is also mention of existence of modern day slavery, right at this very moment, there are estimated tens of millions of people living their lives through some form of modern day slavery, according to International Labor Organization. This number is shocking to many scholars because we thought that we were done away with this negative aspect of human nature a very long time ago. Yes, it is uncomfortable news to many but that is the truth, slavery is still here with us and it looks like its going nowhere.

Let me tell you a story, it goes like this...
"Once upon a time there lived a rat and a cat, they were very good friends, they lived happily in their wooden shack, they shared everything between themselves, when one of them got some food, he would share it with the other. One day the rat did something very bad, he annoyed the cat who then out of rage slapped him very hard, the rat was seriously injured by the blow and then died. That's the end of my story..."
Yarn spinning is a skill that is deeply ingrained in our blood, we are descended from a long line of great story tellers, there is no story we don't know how to tell, we always find time to amaze our audiences with great tales, both the contemporary and the legends of the old...

My old time friends Jiji and Kaki are the two fellows that have greatly influenced my writing and life at large, when you hear them speak you are led to think they know everything, Jiji was very good at debates, I don't remember a single day when he lost a contest. Kaki on the other hand was a great story teller, I don't know where he got his stories from, we simply enjoyed them, we never cared about his sources either, he had lots of them too. One thing I loved about this little fellow was that I never got bored around him. He would flood your ears with thousands of stories at a time and there is no single moment when he will tell you the same story twice. Jiji was somehow a fanatic. When there is a discussion then individuals get stuck at a point where nobody has any further information, all are ignorant, that's when he jumps onto the dance floor, claiming he knows it all, I have never met anyone who loved arguments more than Jiji, even a simple discussion he would turn it into an argument. He had a strange way of convincing people to believe his claims, even though you had with you solid facts that proved him otherwise, you still couldn't beat him...
