 A view of Kew Street on Slave Island, Colombo, Sri Lanka, where the intricately carved Arullmigu Sivasubramania Swami Kovil, a Hindu temple, was built more than 125 years ago to honor Lord Muguran, god of religion and yoga. The distinctively decorated 80-foot tower is flanked by smaller clock towers. The temple remains an active place of worship.

I am not really interested in the story of slavery, in fact, I despise the entire concept of it. In my opinion, if we keep on telling the next generations, stories about them, then they might emulate it. I really hope that the concept of slavery ends with our generation. While I do realize that we are still slaving away up to this day, that is above the issue. Slavery is not something that I would wish on any person. Leave a Reply. |
