Question

The Sultans were advised: “A slave, whom one has brought up and promoted, must be looked after for it needs a whole lifetime and good luck to find a worthy and experienced slave. Wise men have said that a worthy and experienced slave is better than a son …”
Can you think of any reason why a slave would be better than a son?

Answer 1

1)Because sons usually forget their parents when they r married off while as it is not in case of a worthy slave he will always remain their for master
2) usually we see that in ancient times even sons used to be thirsty of their father's blood bcoz of the greed of throne ..while a slaves respected their masters in every sphere of life :)
