Well, I'm not a slave - I am not owned, but only rented. Every person is born not owning the place where they live, or the air they breathe - you have to pay rent on that stuff, and so you have to sell pieces of your life (the majority of your waking hours, in fact) to pay that rent. I'm glad I'm not a slave- the difference is that I can switch to another employer. I can't escape the system as a whole though, although I am trying. The favorite job I think I've ever had was working stacking lumber, because it didn't really require my attention, which meant that I could let my brain spin, I would write computer programs for typing up later, I would try to come up with music, and so forth. Does anyone else feel this way, or is it just me? If I express these thoughts people tend to tell me I'm whiny and entitled. I don't want for anything materially. I'm well fed. But I really feel deep down that I'm not free and I hate it and it just kills me every day.
