I once posted something on the General Religious Board, and I got this kind of reply:

Quote:
my maid came from the <name of country>...
I think she believes that she is doing her maid a favor or something, by giving her employement. I am not here to say that she's bad or anything. In fact, I perfectly believs that she is a decent person. I however had a big problem with servitude.

And it's not the maid I'm worried, but those who are served. The curse of servitude falls heavily on those who are served, instead of those who serve. In the same way that the curse of slavery falls heavily on the slave master than on the slaves. Because they lose the humanity and true compassion for fellow being.
