Slavery - Our own personal choice



Having fought for several years for freedom yet we find ourselves chained, the only difference being that this time it is to another set of people.  Looks like we are born for slavery!  Why are we doing this to ourselves?

When will we understand the real meaning of "Freedom?" Freedom when we can choose freely.  Freedom of speech, freedom of will, freedom of thoughts, opinion, movement etc.  

To me, I personally feel, that we are not looking for freedom.  Instead, we are always on the run for benefit.  Hence we choose profit and favors over freedom.  

That is how life is so restricted for us.  We CHOOSE to confine ourselves by being submissive to people and allowing them a free hand over ourselves.  

Freedom is anything that is not slavery.  Anything that we do against our will, just to impress or flatter someone else.  To be more explicit, anything that we do just for benefit, favor, profit at the cost of our self-respect.

What we witness is this that we just fought to tie ourselves to a different set of people?  And this struggle will continue.....!  

Freedom is to protect our self-respect, not promote our self-interest.

Sometimes, slavery is not something that just lands on us.  It is more of a personal choice.
