I woke up this morning and the first thing that popped into my head other than been hungry was 'your a slave because someone else profits from your labour'
I remember covering this in philosophy at university and it struck a cord within me. And you know its true. But we are slaves in every sense of the word. Because we are bound by the constrainsts of society. Our master profits from our labour, the taxes we pay and we are controlled by the emotions of others. We are even slaves to our emotions.
The only escape we have are our minds. Our minds allow us to be free, free to invision a reality that we are able to do as we please, think how we want to think, love how we want to be loved and live how we want to live. But our freedom from slavery has one price and its a heavy price and that is been not allowed to think. Sometimes it feels as if we have to fight to be able to think for ourselves and because we have to fight to use our minds to think freely our bodies become the the cage our minds live in. Our body becomes the minds prison. Our body feels heavy and detached from our minds. Our mind feels light, liberated, intelleutcal, calm but yet stuffy.
We are bound by so many rules, so many boundaries that everyone around you profits from your labour. And this labour is from the work you do to the emotional price you pay for your interactions within society to every person we come across to every thought we have.
So what is it to be free, because freedom can not exist. We can use our mind to give us a sense of freedom but are not our minds restricted by creativity. Are our minds not bound by the laws of whats right and wrong. Are not our minds bound to the logic of good and evil and are not our minds sufforcated by our hearts desire to be happy, to be happy is to have a sense of freedom. For instances if we have a money that is surplus then we can spend it how and what we want. This gives us happiness as we feel we are not resticted by money worries. Even when we are in love and we are with someone are we not happy because we are or feel we are emotionally free. But take these things away and we feel the bonds of slavery again because we are no longer free we are confined, trapped and our master is profiting from our labours again. But our masters never stopped profiting from our labour even when we felt free.
Myabe excepting the fact that we are slaves to our masters is freedom...
