Sell Piglets

People say that positivity always leads things to a brighter path and thus change one’s life in an optimistic way. Many events in history have proven that the theory of positivity is precise; however time and patient are required.
She fell into the sea of slavery while she was surfing for freedom. And she started to find slavery interesting in many ways. From ancient period in many places around the world including China, India, and Europe and etc., people are born to differentiate others. It was either the discrimination of skin color, cast, gender or wealth. The strong oppressed the weak and took away their freedom. No weaker person was given any freedom nor treated equally as a human being. We always claimed how civilized we are and be proud of it. But oppression and slavery emerged from civilization of human being. As some people thought that their wisdom grow one step ahead of others, their greed could extend to unimaginable level where they take away people’s right subconsciously. It is pride and selfishness that created the devil within human being in an invisible way. Moreover, the birth of slavery has constructed a hell on earth and it has stood strong for centuries in many lands. She remembered when she was first introduced to the concept of slavery from a Hong Kong drama; she was barely a primary school child. And it was called, “Mai Chu Zhai” in Cantonese which means “Sell Piglets”. Piglets were used to describe slaves because they do not have the value to be human. So, these “piglets” were the Chinese people who were transported in containers by ships to Nan Yang (South East Asia). These piglets came from all types of sources as debtors, debtors’ son or daughter or even wife, prisoners, and also randomly abducted victims. Many Chinese people in her country now, were the decedent of these “piglets”.
Suddenly, she understood something. She was abducted by herself in a black box and was transferred to this unknown insane world. She is a “piglet” herself. So sad but true; when is this piglet life going to end? Where is it going? She has no clue. Perhaps she has a choice… but she could not choose.
