Master As Deity

(Humble Learning by Etana Vella)

The very act of being a kajira or kajirus is a religious experience. Religion is an unquestionable belief in something greater than you…faith in a Master or Mistress, for instance. Religion is rife with ritual. The essence of a true kajira or kajirus is in the details of the ritual. Religion rallies the followers to believe in the cause…much like a Master or Mistress instructs a kajira or kajirus on the politics of their surroundings. And like a true believer, the kajira and kajirus follow their Master or Mistress to the death of that cause. It is not a question of whether they believe it or feel it, only that it is important to the one greater than themselves.

The disobedient kajirae and kajiri remind me of the Catholics who only go to church on Christmas Eve and Easter. The ones that go through the basics of the ritual, but do not have an invested heart in the cause greater than themselves. They clock in and clock out.

A true kajira or kajirus invests their heart in the cause of their Master and Mistress, following it as devoutly as any religion. Is a Master or Mistress a deity? No. It is not fair to put that pressure on them. But the ritual and servitude of a true kajira or kajirus would suggest that they do believe in the perfection of their Master or Mistress….even if it means they have to drag it out themselves.
