Be mindful of those who serve you

It is best to share with your attendants what is going forward, both in the labor of preparation and in the enjoyment of the feast itself. If such a thing be difficult at the time, recollect that you who are not weary are being served by those that are.  Epictetus.  The Golden Sayings.  Section 2.  Number 180
