"A good many causes tend to make good masters and mistresses quite as rare as good servants.. The large and rapid fortunes by which vulgar and ignorant people become possessed of splendid houses,splendidly furnished, do not, of course, give them the feelings and manners of gentle folks or in any way raise them above the servants they employ, who are quite aware of this fact, and that the possession of wealth is literally the only superiority their employers have over them".

Times change. This period in time is the period of sophisticated and subtle control on the mass scale. But the time will come when these poor hypnotized people will finally understand that they don't congenitally belong to the master-servant paradigm. Master-servant paradigm is the root of all suffering. It should be extinct or it should be rare atavism. Unfortunately, this will most likely happen when it's too late, like when a terminally ill turns to communicate to higher forces or hope, blind, not knowing that the same "higher force" is in the self.
