"Ah, my baby brother, I am so proud of you. The most important step is to recognize that there is even a problem. Once the problem has been identified, we can then take steps to ameliorate it."
Rafael smiled. "First, I will tell you what NOT to do. You do NOT just announce to every slave, You are all free to go. So go and live your life as you please!"
He inclined his head. "What do you think happens to someone who has been a slave all his life and is suddenly free?"
