who is really the slave and the master

Men in suit look really successful until you find out they work for the men in T-shirts and jean

i saw this comment ^^^^

and it worked perfectly with the theme i had seen in the latest episode i watched of kaiji

for the slave and master are seen as opposites

but who said a slave cannot be a master of another slave



 especially with regards to damocles
for the story goes

Damocles was a courtier who flattered the ruler Dionysius, tyrant of Syracuse, to excess. The fulsome praise so annoyed the king that he decided to teach him a lesson. He held a banquet in honor of Damocles but when Damocles saw the sword hanging by a single horse-hair over his head, he lost all taste for the lavish feast. He realized that even those who appear to enjoy great fortune face fears and worries. By the way, the word impending literally means hanging over. 

and this what we see in kaiji

after tonegawa loses before kaiji asks for a rematch
tonegawa is seen as the emperor
from his mannerisms 
to the way he speaks

and thats right tonegawa is in a suit and a tie
but the real person is the chairman behind the scenes 
who basically is in a shirt and jeans

and kaiji beats him by playing on the fact that tonegawa sees him as scum human trash the inferior
and because of his ideas of superiority he would be come arrogant

especially in this game and countless others he has won setting himself apart from the so called inferiors and trash

but our first glimpse at the facade of superiority 
was the fact that he was cheating
why would one superior need to cheat

the chairman drops some more knowledge
about his stance and the lead up
and how bowing and begging is what people do when they are nearing the end
and he says he was fooled many times by this
later to be betrayed
so that is why he gives no money to people in need

and that going past the deadline showed no sincerity
on the debtors part
and that only those who do whatever it takes to pay on time are sincere
and only when there greater incentives do they rise to the challenge
and that if they were truly sorry they should be able to kneel or bow anywhere 
even on a hot steel plate 

tonegawa is made to kneel on it with his forehead touching aswell for ten seconds


and kaiji sees that this man was not the enemy but another victim
and was not a master but another slave
and that his real enemy was the chairman

and though previously you may have thought tonegawa was in a better place
as did damocles
but you find out he is worse off

and we can go out and see where this may also happen else where

for as with the picture above the slave can defeat the emperor or master
but you must find out who is

and that superiority can just be inferiority on a pedastool
for as they say money cannot buy class

and that some people are so poor that the only thing they have is money

Hold on i am just remastering

i recently watched an episode of ^^^^

and it was a sequel of a post i write earlier apprentices
and i mentioned one character in particular


robin>>>












we start of with him attempting to foil a robbery and he is pitted against this guy
they duke it out
then^^^ proposes he can beat robin in three moves
and he does so telling him to be as good as him he needs to train with the master
he then goes in search of the master
he retorts of how he has trained with the best but there is still more for him to learn


he is told by this old lady that he cannot train with the master
but he overcomes the rejection
she then says that to find the master
he will have to transverse
the mountain behind her
and he will have to do it bereft of his gadgets





he sets of feeling a bit naked without his gadgetry
and even forgets that he has not got it with him
for he is so used to using his tools

which is a theme we will return to





he then has to face of against this behemoth
of a bear
all without his gadgetry
the bear retorts the words of the old lady and that he can leave now but he carries on he will not have this option again
and to proceed he will have to go through him
which he finds out easier said then done
but eventually he overcomes the giant to proceed



he is then set upon by the old lady once again remarking how she got their ahead of him
and if she could step aside so he can pass since he is on a time limit to reach the top before sun down
she rebukes him for rudeness and that he should help her with the pails of water >>>
she then directs him to the next opponent


he is then set upon by a blind snake
he says he will not fight him since he is blind so the snake turns of the lights and says so are you now
and how his senses are useless to him here
since he has no light for eyes
and the cave echoes the sound
but he uses his mind to figure out where he is and proceeds



he still has to transverse the mountain to reach before
sun down






he then reaches the monkey
who offers him a cup of tea
he declines and wants to hurry up and fight since he is on a time limit
the monkey has a distinct advantage
but robin once again overcomes the obstacle to be within the home stretch of the masters
residence




but then he is beset by the very person who told him of this place
and he tells him how he lied about training with the master and that he used robin to do the tasks so as to save his energy
but the old lady warned him about the easy way over the hard way
he then uses robins own inventory against him
and was a telling point of how he relied to heavily upon it now
robin exhausted wants to quit
yet the old lady reminds him of his previous conviction
of being able to handle anything that could come his way
and that he has come this far and he is so close
so he should carry on
he then uses what he learnt from the three tests to defeat him
showing that you should learn from those you face
and take away what is useful from them

the robber attempts to blindside attack him for the old lady
to step in revealing she is the master and that the robber had tried before to do the tasks and had failed numerous times
showing that sometimes others even foes can sometimes see the potential within us
the robber was escorted from the masters presence by the same very beings he could not defeat
and then the point of not seeing what was in front of him
he had been conversing with the master all this time he did not see her
as for us we should not get blinded by our goal
we fail to see the goal
also that we should use tools and not be use by tools
not to be overly reliant on them
for question will be asked of who we are without them
and when that question comes will we be ready
