DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT YOU WANT OTHERS TO DO TO YOU, IRRESPECTIVE OF AGE, CLASS, TRIBE AND/OR RELIGION.
There are too many 'slave masters' in disguise; this I see almost everywhere, especially in my nation Nigeria. I have seen many people maltreat people they call "housemaids" just as if they are dealing with animals. I have seen people who employ people to work with them, and 'use' them as if they are paying them their life wages.
The worse part about these people is that majority of them are very religious; you see them in the churches, you see them in the mosques. They are even the respected ones in our worship centres, 'cos they have the cash and influence. I get irritated at the sight and hearing of these actions by these people whom I call 'SLAVE MASTERS IN DISGUISE', they sometimes seem to be inhuman. They would never try to help a burdened maid, they feel they are getting paid or they bought them already. They do not care about their health system or general wellbeing; as long as they in particular are ok, then every other thing is assumed ok... SELFISH PEOPLE.
Lets take a cue from the one who bought us all with a price, yet, never treated us as a slave, our LORD and MASTER, JESUS CHRIST. He willingly offered to bear our burden when were heavily laden to relieve us of the burdens; He even went so low to wash the feet of his employees, he prepared food for them when they were exhausted from all-night hard labour of trial with nothing caught and many more; no wonder He told us to learn from Him.
If we were bought as a master would buy a slave, but are never treated as a slave, why then a human treat a fellow human as servants. Employers, don't let people work for you, let them work with you; House masters, don't use people for your tasks, make the people your ultimate tasks... It's called TRUE & SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP... Remember, no one is a product of his wish or works, we are all a product of God's mercy.
