Notes

Human beings Enslaved
By "humans enslaved" I mean certainly not so much actual physical ownership and actual slavery imposed on you by others, the form of slavery that features been and sometimes still is practiced in the world, but often personal imposed mental captivity. You are the slave and exactly what is enslaving an individual is in simple fact you. But in case you want some sort of scapegoat, you can pin the rap upon society for brainwashing you to start with due to the fact none of what follows is hardwired or innately carved into your small grey cells.

PERIOD: The basic assumption here is that will when the clock ticks, you jump. Precisely how often do we say "Can't speak now"; "I'm late"; "Gotta run"; "Its kick-off time" or even its time intended for (the meeting, catching the train, the dinner party, etc . ). It never ends. Alarm clocks, the factory siren, the referee's whistle, you are regulated simply by the clock from the moment you get up in the particular morning till as soon as you lie along during the night. You will be indeed enslaved by Daddy Time!

MONEY: Funds is not often of root involving all evil. Some people are just blessed nasty! Still, typically the average person worships the great dollar invoice (or equivalent), and for valid reason instructions you avoid obtaining a "go to be able to jail" card because you can pay your current bills. But pretty apart from the necessities - bills, the rent/mortgage, food, clothing, high temperature, education and medicine - we have a tendency to be slaves in not just needing, but wanting, a growing number of and a lot more, and more plus more and more calls for a lot more and a lot more money. And thus, a major part regarding our existence in addition to purpose is to be able to acquire wealth : and that's barely something that's modern day to the in this article and now. Easy methods to that way given that Methuselah was a new brat in diapers (and even before of which when you take into account those Ancient Egypt tomb robbers). When your savings account is greater than anyone else's, well it's the glowing rule - these people who has the gold makes the particular rules. Be this gold or the buck bill, you're some sort of slave in pursuit.

POSSESSIONS: Whether it is precious metal or the money bill, you're a new slave in goal. Why? You need things, stuff, assets. You receive bragging protection under the law should your (fill in the blank) is certainly bigger, more costly, and/or larger in quantity, than those of your peers. You might be a slave to having stuff way above and beyond the standard necessities for all kinds of psychological causes. Rather than the application associated with "enough is enough", you let the concept of "shop till you drop" rule your mental roost.

FASHIONS & FASHIONS -- THE LATEST MUST-HAVES: You will be blitzed using a huge selection of ads each day, on the web, about TV, on typically the radio, on typically the Internet, even non-promotional 'ads' in typically the form of news stories, articles, etc . that note and log trends in society. You usually are told, via these types of ads and 'ads' what's hot plus what's not. Exactly what is the newest style in ladies shoes? Exactly what are the most current in-colours? Should you get carpet or perhaps tiles? What's the newest kitchen gizmo? What's the most recent doll? What's all of the newest rage in laptops? What's the hottest new TV show either on TV or even on DVD? The particular list of fashions and fashions of which you MUST HAVE GOT are as lengthy as being a telephone book! From your hula baskeball hoop towards the whitewall tyre; through the microwave to the convertible; coming from the espresso coffee machine to the miniskirt (or hotpants); today what's the newest bestseller in books? Who's the newest artist with a top strike? Of course multi-millions part with their $$$ all throughout pursuit of running the latest MUST HAVE - truly it's MUST HAVES, hundreds of NEED TO HAVES. And and so were slaves to be able to Madison Avenue and equivalents around the county and around the globe. And it need to work. The adverts have enslaved people (though the money stops with you) otherwise there'd be no new fads and MUST POSSESS fashions. But regarding course today's WILL NEED TO HAVE is next week's UNINTERESTING, to be replaced of course together with a newer version of MUST HAVES! It never ends.

MARKETING: Even though you evidently don't want unnecessary possessions , nor participate of the latest fads and fashions, there's a total marketing enterprise out and about there made to help make you reconsider and dance to their tune; grab an individual from the privates in addition to make your cardiovascular, mind and pocket follow towards the conquer of their drum. You're hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned. There are lots of ploys or tips into making an individual have your funds, often slogans and buzz phrases. See if you understand a few: "Last chance"; "Never in order to be repeated"; "Our pain is your gain"; "Below cost"; "No extra cost in order to you"; "Hurry, previous days"; "On sale"; "Exclusive to"; "Limited offer"; "Limited edition"; "Once in a lifetime offer"; "Sale ends... "; "Limited time only"; "Buy two get one free", and thousands more buzz terms. There are a lot of variations on typically the theme. Come on, man this specific type of method works; otherwise typically the strategy would have been abandoned eons ago. You might think you're immune, however the possibilities are your captive just the identical.

APPEARANCES: If there actually was an infatuation, this is it. From time immemorial, anyone and everyone has already been a slave in order to how they seem to anyone and everyone otherwise. But if you stop and consider about it, precisely what counts is the particular real you, what you represent; your current characteristics; your personality. How you dress, your hairstyle, your current makeup, your accents, your house, the car; your social smarts and etiquette are really unnecessary. If you get to work within a smart suit in addition to tie, or inside your birthday suit, neither has anything whichever to do using how competent a person are to carry out the task you are paid to complete. A Nobel Prize champion is still a Nobel Prize champion even when he has the bongo plats, loves to visit tape clubs, womanise, in addition to lists safecracking as a hobby! Without naming names, the particular late Nobel Prize winning theoretical quantum physicist Richard P. Feynman's book "What Can you Care What Additional People Think? inch should sum up the concept of which superficial appearances are only that - superficial. Would you quicker decrease in record as a sharp dresser without some sort of hair out regarding place, or as a possible Einstein, notorious for having a rather inadequate sense of accents or dress feeling?

LIFESTYLE: You can easily accept the fact that many people are better athletes than you; some individuals are smarter you; some people usually are better at command you. But you probably cannot accept that some individuals have got, and getting, a new better lifestyle than you.

Humans constantly assess themselves to others. It's hard not to when the way of living of others, especially the rich and famous, are thrust in our faces by many ways and indicates; from quality news sources for the tabloids. And much like the often artificial desire for stuff, to have got the latest tool, to be attracting the rest involving the world, thus too do we develop in our mind's eye an idealistic lifestyle that we all can strive with regard to, but never attain, since we maintain raising the line mainly because someone else's club is above ours. No matter just what your lifestyle levels is, you recognize someone who has a much better lifestyle, as you feel you usually are their equal (or probably their better) you acquire an attitude "I ought to have. "

Two points: someone has to end up being 'top dog', and that 'top dog' is relative. 'Top dog' could suggest wealth; it might suggest health; it may imply education, it could be fame; it could always be achievement, it can mean many things, although it's not going to all of the above simultaneously. Therefore , you have to pick-and-choose what lifestyle means to you. Nevertheless whatever criteria an individual choose to follow, of course someone else will have previously scaled that Support Everest. Rather as compared to accept your spot in life while somewhat below the summit, you frequently become enslaved in order to reach the summit too. Needless to say together with lots of folks desiring the same exact, that summit in theory could get awfully crowded, and as everybody knows by childhood, there can only be one "king of the particular mountain" at ay one time. That fact however never seems to reduce the enslavement to climb, ever climb and even knock that additional bastard off their particular perch!

TRADITIONS as well as HABITS: More probably as not, you're a slave to various traditions in addition to personal habits. An individual might say anything like "that's the particular way my mom and dad made it happen; that's typically the way their mother and father did it and their parents before these people so that as far back when you care to be able to go - really tradition and that we observe tradition without correspondence will be entered into on the matter! " Or, is actually such-and-such a time; such-and-such a day or date, therefore such-and-such will be completed or observed. Sound slightly familiar? We are going to often creatures regarding, slaves to, tradition and habits without ever stopping to issue "why"?

CHRISTMAS: Holiday just has in order to be singled out specially from the remaining book of days and nights because it's with the extreme end of our numerous traditions plus habits. By in whatever way you care in order to measure things, Xmas can be typically the best of times but it's generally the worst involving times (conveniently forgotten one year on). The Xmas propaganda (i. e. - the Xmas Season) starts months prior to appointed date and is relentless in their build-up and power. It extends several weeks past the use-by date when the Xmas wrapping paper plus Xmas cards are usually now 50% off, and those article Xmas sales exactly where you're tempted to by next many years Xmas gifts now. Then the Xmas bills arrive simply to remind you about those enjoyment times you had over the past various months.

Do you perform Xmas as you need to, or since society has thus shoved this strategy down your tonsils ever since you had been knee high to be able to a cockroach that you simply now just head out throughout the motions by rote because a person have got to be able to appease that good deity called "Shop Till You Drop"? Translated, do you do Xmas only because it's anticipated of you? These you admit? I believed so. I lead to what sane man or woman voluntarily desires to be able to max out their very own credit cards with regard to gifts for others who probably don't need or want them and will certainly just shove these people towards the back of their closet? Exactly what sane person under your own accord spends hours throughout crowded stores only for the pleasure or perhaps satisfaction of maxing out their bank cards on behalf associated with others? There's rarely a store you may shop in of which isn't loaded in order to the rafters using Xmas trimmings. What sane person might voluntarily, laughing most the way (Ho, Ho, Ho), devote hours writing and even addressing Xmas cards to persons they will really do not give a damn about? And even isn't it merely requires jolly good fun having to wrap up all individuals gifts? Do you honestly look forward to ability to hear all those Xmas songs for the millionth time? There's hardly a go shopping in town (not to mention buskers) which bombard a person with endless sales reps of Xmas songs. How a staff can certainly stand it is quite beyond us.

I'm sure a person just love being exposed to Christmas spin multi-thousands associated with times per Xmas Season and not just the repetitious music and even endlessly reading the word "Christmas" or perhaps "Merry Christmas" although those endlessly duplicating Xmas images and even Xmas colours. This hardly qualifies because subtle or subconsciente - you're clobbered over the head and you also love that - "pay focus stupid, it's moment to do your current Xmas bit if not there's no Father christmas for you personally! " Today this isn't many national emergency seeing that in "Uncle Mike Needs You! inches, rather the Key Executive Officers associated with the retail sector need you, specifically if they will be to obtain their The holiday season bonuses!

And what about slaving more than the kitchen range preparing that unique Xmas meal for those relatives you'd actually rather poison? Talking about Xmas dinner, why not try something different intended for a change, like pizza, spaghetti, macaroni & cheese, chicken breast pot pie or even sirloin steak. Species of fish & chips would make a nice change too! No? This has to be ham or chicken and plum pudding / mince pies / Xmas fresh fruit cake according to be able to someone's (whose very long since dead) traditions. Actually it's not your fault. Option The holiday season dinner fare that the supermarket catalogues and store displays feature, in LARGE PRINT, that turn your arm as well as in a manner involving speaking end up shoving this must-have-because-it's-traditional Xmas fare straight down your throat; this particular time literally! Monotonous! Same old cost! No imagination! And so, as an independent minded SOB, its species of fish & chips for Xmas dinner regarding me (and simply no leftovers either).

Therefore why do you take action, year following year after season? Because society claims it's that period of year to evaluate your 'right stuff', to see in the event that your heart (and sanity) can have the pressure an additional year. Society states you snap in order to attention at Christmas and you response, via your budget, "Yes sir! I actually will sir. Appreciate you sir"! Culture says you will certainly run the total annual Xmas obstacle study course, and run this you need to do, and usually are you proud involving yourself, huffing and puffing, whenever you get across the finish line. So, if a person do Xmas with regard to any reason besides because you desire to, you truly seriously and truly want to, then you're enslaved, hook, line and Xmas sinker.

Really apart from the commercial aspects, most likely enslaved to Christmas if you Xmas intended for religious reasons due to the fact you're still getting led up the particular garden path simply by the nose. Precisely why? It's because if you're celebrating Xmas for the wrong 'religious' reason. Xmas is usually all about a new natural rebirth, not really about a supernatural birth. The other, the alleged birth of a Christ, was superimposed by the Christian church over the real pagan reason regarding celebration around the past due December period. Of which original celebration centered on the come back of lengthening daytime after the Upper Hemisphere's Winter solstice. Therefore , celebrating Christmas as being the birth associated with Christ is not just completely wrong, but irrational in that the day of Christ's beginning isn't know by simply anyone. And celebrating Xmas for just about any reason in typically the Southern Hemisphere will be ludicrous for either of the over possibilities. You've most been suckered just as before.

TECHNOLOGY: We're captive to our technologies fixes, and to those repairmen and even their extravagant charges who fix our fixes when individuals fixes need correcting. I mean any time the TV should go on the blink; when the hard drive crashes, the particular fridge conks out and about, even when you will find a power failure, fine we may not really panic, but many of us get a tad close to this. We've all noticed those quasi end-of-the-world movies where typically the few survivors include to rebuild civilization from scratch without having all those contemporary technological conveniences such as gasoline and electric power, and it is not easy. Could you make it through without supermarkets in addition to clothing stores or perhaps modern hardware retail stores? Would you enjoy the task involving separating a teen from her Tweet or Facebook? Movie game addiction is usually well known. Typically the commuter who has to, shock apprehension, take the bus because the auto broke down is NOT a happy camper. So what bits involving technology are a person enslaved to, plus who forced you to adopt those bits in the particular first place?

AUTHORITY: I haven't acquired my bill instructions I'm not at fault yet if We don't do some thing the powers-that-be are usually sure to minimize off my (fill in the blank) for non-payment. Do you ever find yourself inside of that sort of condition? website will be always on an individual to rectify items even when you're entirely innocent of any kind of wrongdoing. I've discovered myself, usually various times a season, having to chase back up goods that could result, easily fail in order to do so, in a few bureaucratic authority physique come crashing down on me even though I'm not from fault of any kind of wrongdoing. That's enslavement. We're enslaved to be able to another deity - the great lord of bureaucracy. Coming from all had activities akin to banging our own heads against some sort of bureaucratic stone wall. It certainly is the ordinary person who must prove, out associated with anxiety about some authority, it turned out the technique at fault, as when does virtually any authority figure acknowledge that the bureaucratic system to which they are an integral part of is flawed? The normal man or woman is guilty till proven innocent; is actually never the fault of the program.

POWER: Power may possibly not always corrupt and absolute power may not usually corrupt absolutely, nevertheless we tend to seek power; wish all slaves to be able to seeking power and all slaves to keeping what power we certainly have. It may end up being very local including the husband who else beats the wife who in turn screams at typically the eldest kid, in order to the older close friend who was screamed in now in change bullying his younger sibling, to this brat kicking the dog, who then chases the cat. I assume it stops with the cat. Of course it might be power at the office - constantly seeking promotion therefore that you possess more people under your command/supervision. It might be seeking political energy, from local creciente to prime minister. But we most feel great having an individual, or something, all of us have power above.

LEAVING YOUR MARK - LEGACY & POSTERITY: You don't have to keep any physical record of yourself powering, not even a carved tombstone, nevertheless you're a slave to whatever interior drive compels a person to do thus. People tend to be obsessed (a form of psychological slavery) with getting noticed, even after death and in many cases if only anonymously. Discover architecture, from typically the pyramids to Stonehenge to modern skyscrapers and houses. Will be certainly graffiti (not some sort of modern phenomenon). Discover artistic works from hieroglyphs and cavern art and petroglyphs to all the different arts and crafts we have nowadays along with those of which form a part of each of our cultural legacy. The particular upshot is the fact within the long word, while most try out, few succeed. The amount of of those lots of thousands associated with Ancient Greeks usually are remembered today, but probably nearly most sought some sort of long-term heritage.

HOBBIES: Hobbies are usually any dedicated action not normally associated with day-to-day survival, generally, but not constantly involving collecting items. In case you started to be able to list now the particular various hobbies engaged in by peoples around the world, past and provide, you'd probably still be jotting these people all down now next year! The particular critical point is that often times typically the hobby controls a person and not the other way around. Much of the entire existence plus purpose involves your own personal hobby infatuation. It's that move from fan to fanatic that marks you as captive.

RECREATIONAL DRUGS: Tablets, caffeine, nicotine, liquor, magic mushrooms and other 'good' stuff, etc . Do you command them or do they control an individual?

CONCLUSION: Its not all of the above will certainly apply to every person on a regular basis, but something(s) will apply in order to most people no less than some of typically the time. If any of the above is pertinent, if the shoe fits, fine, wear it and even admit that an individual have to a point or other captive yourself.
