RE: Slavery: What exactly is it?

in #philosophy7 years ago

Yes, I am a slave. I am a slave of my thoughts, my machines, my smartphones and my job. The thing which we cannot get rid of in our life and cannot live with our own will, we are slave to those things whether they are living. or non living.

That is a different type of MASTER. Very different topic. Master/Slave relationship in history is humans enslaving other humans. :)

I agree; as long as I work for someone, I am a slave to them.
I can work for a company, or I can have many clients. They are all my rulers in some respects..

But as far as I can tell, it is much better to have many clients, so none of them is essential and I can choose to work with each or not.
And it is good to save and invest in holdings that will help free humanity over time, and will not devalue sitting in a savings account due to inflation.

Thus it is possible to achieve financial independence while still a young man ;-)

For me that is the true slavery; dependence on fiat currencies, starts the entire ball rolling, to control the masses through financial means. And ignorance thereof..

Yes you are right. Now with the evolution of decentralized platforms like steemit, we can see a financial freedom in the upcoming days.
