Society does not condone servitude but is still ridden with it. Our leaders are supposed to be in the service of the people, but a lot of them service themselves. A bank is supposed to take care of the people who trust them with their money and not the top brass of the bank industry. Teachers are supposed to work for the students and not the enhancement of the educational institution. We all are supposed to be taking care of the planet which allows us to live, rather than make it unrecognizable by exploiting it. Servitude is despicable, but it surrounds us and is tolerated by most. Everyone seems to be enriching themselves while suffocating the society at large. How can we tolerate the fact that a large number of people do not have enough food to eat while other households waste food. Most people deny that servitude even exists in modern society. The truth is that the ugly head of servitude is gnawing away the very fabric of society and has taken up different forms in the form of income disparity, racial disparity, exploitation of nature, religious sentiment exploitation, undermining democracy, allowing too big to fail company’s, internet speed disparity, laws to help the rich get richer, dispensing misinformation, breeding mistrust of the other, rampant drug use but lack of treatment, shameless greed and so on. The list is very long. Servitude has taken up insidious forms. It is corroding us all. Let us recognize it. It is a holy time of the year. Let us pray and work towards a just society, free of servitude in deed and spirit. We will have a more just society, as soon as we want one…….
