I have
noticed that doing a DNA test is extremely popular these days. I also
want to do it, as I am interested in where I and my ancestors really come
from. I am a student of history (most of you don't know that). I am particularly
interested in ancient, mainly Roman, history.
Lately I have been doing some reading on the history of Slavery. These 2 things (the DNA test and the history
of Slavery) brings me to the heart of this post.
Humans have
been enslaving other humans since the very beginning. It is only really in the last 100-150 years
of our over 5,000 year recorded history, that people have tried to end the practice. You could argue that the push to end slavery
began around the 12th century, possibly earlier, and you could also
argue that slavery still continues to this very day. However, this is not my main point. Nor is my main point about the difference
between racial slavery (were an entire race/ethnicity is deemed inferior etc)
and the ancient practices of slavery (where basically anyone could become a
slave). Nor am I about to say or argue
that slavery as a whole is good. But
really, it all comes from a podcast I was listening to. In it, someone stated that if you trace your
ancestry, you undoubtedly had ancestors that were slaves. For some, this could be not as far back as
you think, for others it might be centuries.
The point is, basically, that almost no human alive today, can say that
none of their ancestors was a slave at some point in human history. Everyone
has a Slave DNA, or Slave Blood in their veins.
This got me
thinking about myself. Is this one of
the reasons why I am submissive by nature?
It took me a long time to admit it myself. I struggled against it. I can now say it with even a sense of
pride. I am not an alpha… I am not a
dominate person… I belong on my knees, subservient to those above me. I am happiest and in my most natural state
when I am controlled and dominated. I am a slave!
I belong in chains. I know and
accept that now and more than that, I am happy. Then the other day I listened to a podcast
on a brief history of Eunuchs.
In history there
were two types of Eunuchs, those were castrated before puberty (sometime as
young as 10 years old) to become servants to the king/emperor in his
palace/court and those that were castrated as punishment. In the Middle East and West Eunuchs were
simply castrated, in China, even their penis was removed. Now, of course Eunuchs were valuable to the
king/emperor because he didn’t have to worry about a eunuch slave/servant
ruining his noble blood line (ie, they couldn’t father children). Meaning there is no realistic way I have
Eunuch DNA. Although I may have had an
uncle ancestor that was a eunuch etc.
But again, it got me thinking.
If slavery
has been around since humans first started to roam the Earth (or at least since
some of the earliest recorded history) and Eunuchs have been for just about the
same time (Assyrians are among the first to record Eunuchs in the Emperors
court). Perhaps this offers a little
window on my own submissive and chaste desires.
While I have never considered nor do I want to be castrated. Being locked in Chasity for the past 2 and
half years is certainly close.
Anyway,
really my point is this… perhaps it is time we allow people to become slaves
again. I don’t mean racial slavery or
forced slavery (although maybe if one is a serious enough criminal etc). I mean, actually accepting that some people
are just naturally meant to serve. Some
people are inferior and desire to be slaves.
Anyway, I digress…
I would be interested in hearing other people’s thoughts and comments on
this. Is Slavery inherently “evil”? Is it wrong that person actually wants to be
a slave? Are some people born to serve,
while others born to dominate?
