Master: Who?

When the Greek philosopher Diogenes was captured and taken to be sold in the slave market, it is said that he mounted the auctioneer's platform and loudly said, "A master has come here to be sold. Is there some slave among you who is desirous of purchasing him?" 

What a thought ! But this story really generates many questions. The questions that came to my mind were.....

Who is a Master?
Who is a Slave?

Can a Master be bought? 
       Who has the 'capacity' to Buy a Master?
Can a Master be sold?
        Who is the Master of Master who can sell him?

Who can 'Buy' a Master?
Can a Master 'Sell' himself?

A Master is  always a Master.
A Master gives us an opportunity to be a Master.
             Master of Whom? 
                Master of What? For What?


Do share your thoughts.
