The sorrow of slaves does not stem from their status, but from the emptiness and misfortune of their hearts. Although they are bound to the control of their masters, they may be able to show a hint of happiness on the surface, but that is only a façade that hides the pain deep inside.
Under slavery, slaves were forced to give up their right to freedom, became the property of their masters, and lived in the shadow of their masters. However, it is surprising that some slaves would have some degree of acceptance and satisfaction with this fate. Maybe it's because they've been repressed for a long time and they're used to it, or maybe it's because they've found a little comfort and dependence on their master.
However, even though the slaves showed a certain level of happiness, their deep inner pain was not perceived by the outside world. Their hearts are imprisoned in endless sorrow and despair, unable to truly appreciate the taste of freedom and dignity. They may have learned to endure and adapt, but that doesn't mean they have truly accepted their fate.
What is even more incomprehensible is that some slaves regard their masters as enemies of their enemies, and regard obedience and loyalty to their masters as a kind of honor. What kind of psychological factors are hidden behind this mentality? Maybe it is out of worship and fear of authority, or maybe it is out of helplessness and evasion of one's own survival. In any case, this mentality is a manifestation of the inner distortion and struggle of the oppressed.
The sorrow of a slave is not only a desire for freedom, but also a quest for dignity and dignity. They crave to be recognized, they want to be respected, they want to be seen as a person rather than a thing. However, under slavery, these basic human rights were denied and left to endless suffering.
Although slaves may try to gain a sense of security and happiness through obedience and loyalty, this happiness is based on sacrificing their dignity and freedom, and is a false happiness. Only when the slaves truly realize their worth and rights, bravely stand up against oppression, and fight for freedom and dignity, can they truly move towards the path of happiness.
Therefore, the sorrow of slaves lies not in their status, but in the emptiness and misfortune in their hearts. Only when they realize their worth and courageously pursue freedom and dignity can they truly escape from sorrow and move towards true happiness.
