k47therine-deactivated20130413 asked: I think something you're forgetting is that it's not slaves who believe this, but freed slaves. Of course slaves who suffer from all of the beatings/torture of their slave owner would seek freedom, but once they have that freedom, their life wouldn't automatically be paradise. I feel as though freed slaves would wish to return to slavery because of the brutalities of society during...
k47therine-deactivated20130413 asked: How can you speak for a type of people you do not understand who are from a time period you don't live in?

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, “life.”
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments...
