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

kaiji gets political philosophical political

kaiji another post you may think
i think i may have to do a post for nearly every episode

but we pick up where we left off kaiji has just crossed the beams to get to the other side
along the way he is reminded that
that beam is an allegory fro life where you are alone in you walk
and you must learn to support yourself
and will and drive yourself

he is told that the game and the prize is forfeit
because they asked for the power to be shut off
and they complied albeit late

kaiji argues his point that they were not made aware of this and some people still got shocked and lost their lives over this delay

and there is an old man who seems to be the chief
and he agrees with kaiji and agrees to allow him another chance to win the money
and possibly more if he does another gamble

but as he takes kaiji to the other room he drops some gems

and on the way they walk
and then they see in the passage way the previous contestants writhing in agony
they clearly need medical attention
but the old man explains that he paid them to stay behind and would give bonuses to those paid
special attention by him which consisted of him prodding them in their broken bones
with his walking stick

and he explains using the people as compelling imagery
that world is full those with groans of resentment
and their groans support the luxuries of a few
and understanding that he told him self that he will never help anyone else
and that even though he has money and plenty of it he will never help anyone
he then asks kaiji
why
which is also asking us why
and prods someone in their broken bone
that whilst he fiddles with his broken leg the person feels pain but he does not feel pain and nor does kaiji

and that it does not matter how much another suffers
for the only thing that matters is his own happiness

is this the case
is this the case for us
is this what privilege entails

for how many of us feel the hunger of another
the pain
or despair of another
me may sympathize
but we do not feel it
do we go on hunger strikes for those with out food
do we spend our time with the less fortunate
do we adopt the children who are abandoned
do we heal the sick
and why do we not

and then the old man explains that the guy wanted him to hurt him more
for they put some money near him and he instantly grabbed out to it and said in between his cries my money
and that summed up the more pain the more money they would receive
 then he paraphrases


and the money is the why
and that people will go through a great lot for money
and i am looking at this
that this money they think empowers them weakens them
they are sprawled along the floor like fish upon a boats deck
caught by the fishermen hoping not to be gutted

and that the rich make use of this advantage
forcing others to serve for the rest of their lives whilst they live in comfort

and that kings do not become kings by themselves

ponder this

for if the poor rise up declaring they do not want money the king will be overthrown
but the poor want money so they can be kings themselves
which just strengthens the kings position

and they cannot escape the fruitless paradox because the king cannot be destroyed as long as the poor want money
and the poor will continue to be bound
and the king will provide just enough comfort that uprisings do not occur
regardless of how hard the king drives them

and after that he is led by another to play a game called e card
where there are ten cards in total

a citizen a emperor and a slave
the emperor can beat the citizens but not the slave
the citizen can beat the slave but not the emperor the citizen draws with the citizen
the slave loses to the citizens
but can beat the emperor for it is has nothing to lose
it is the have not
the oppressed one
but those with nothing to lose are said to be the most formidable

which reminds me of a line from a poem
that we only ever oppress those who are powerful

to see what the clip this comes from watch the link below from the 17 minute mark
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBZGTgzCMxQ

this episode got me thinking what position am i in
am i the citizen above the have not
or are citizens just fancy or nicely dressed slaves
like house slave and field slave


and this is the world explained in so few lines
for people declare politicians to be corrupt yet
they then advocate for someone else to run for the same office


the power behind money and the king is the same belief and desire

for people say money is the root of all evil
then say if i had the money i would do this and that

and that these lifelines are given down by your oppressors and you think it would be for your benefit
you would not want the ladder you are stepping on to become autonomous for you would fall
the same with those in power and the kings

and some people are waking up that replacing parts does not affect the whole
beheading one king to then replace them with another
for the system is still intact

for it is not solely our fault for we have been sold ideas of princes and princess from young
with all the poor clambering on another to be kings not realizing
what is the king without the citizens

what is a general without their soldiers

what is a striker without their teammates


and that when you stop positioning yourself to see other you claim to be above you and reach out to those who are next to you
then things change

whose driving this thing

currently i have talking about education
and neets

if life begins at forty what is the time before that

and how many of us examine our life



and one thing to question is the drive of our life


<<<this is the goal for some or they believe it to be

<<< or this but do you need a house so big

but that is only the face of their supposed drives
or the personification

but what drives us
drives me
or drives you

why do you think university is the key or not so
did you come up with that idea yourself

why are you in or went to uni
and why are you or did you study whatever you are studying

so if this is the foundation for your beginning of life
who is driving the vehicle you are in

you
your parents
your peers

for what would some of you say if at

they said you will not get a piece of paper documenting your time here and your exploits on
test we generically asked you to sit
and is validated being signed by people who do not know you or abilities

just be glad you came this far

would you demand your physical piece of information or be like thanks for the drive

for i have said many a time
people ask you with education but what can you do with that

which questions us
how many of us are educating ourselves
to learn
or for rewards
like a pavlovian dog

reacting to stimuli

to the fact if someone said i am a doctor or going to be
oooh you are going to be well off

and why does monetary wealth springs to mind

in conjunction
that i heard once that this person was wasting their time
collecting degrees
instead of just getting a job

and that some people will be more happy for you getting a job any type of job
thank knowledge

disclaimer i am not equating uni with knowledge


and how this new kind of question half argument has arisen with this attitude in mind


of but i have more money
as if money equates or outweighs knowledge

can we envisioned our lives doing things for in and of in themselves
if that exist
or by our own passions and drives

question so what is to be made of someone who has passed every exam but their final exam

which brings me on to this
