It is often said:
Don't break the bridge after you have crossed the river, because you don't know what awaits you where you are heading to at the moment.
It is also said:
Be careful on how you treat people on your way up, because you might need them when it is time for you to come down.
This statement can't be overemphasized in the story of Naaman (Captain of the Army of the King of Syria) and his maidservant an Israelite (a captive in Syria).
Naaman a man of valor and mighty in stature was inflicted with leprosy, he covered it so hard that no one learns about his illness. He look happy and gallant outside, but he is always bitter and vulnerable to himself when he is alone. Naaman was very careful not to let anyone learn about his problem, so he is always in his armor, he didn't show that carefulness to his maid because he thought of her to be just a maid and nobody would even believe her if she decides to expose his master illness.
The maid, though a captive of the wicked Captain who took her away from her people, deprive her the comfort and rights of a citizen of Israel, With all that she was compassionate to her master, She directed his master to the right place, where he will have his healing, a place of comfort even though he brought her to a place of discomfort as a maidservant.
The Captain's maid was the channel that is used to restore Naaman's Health, Respect, Dignity and Power.
In life everybody is important as anyone, Never belittle anybody, especially people you don't know much about them.
