How aware are people of the great amount of freedom they enjoy? Do "you" feel really free? Don't you sometimes complain about the many responsibilities you feel burdened with, i.e. family ties, work tasks, friends expectations, etc.? Just think for a moment about the past, when actual slavery existed. What do you think of that? Do you know that in many places (including your own country) slavery, in different forms, still exists? I believe there is not need to go into details. Slaves have always existed and will always exist as long there are overpowering, selfish, greedy individuals, and weak, meek, powerless ones. So, do you really believe that in your present situation, you actually have the right to complain? It is enough for you to be able of going out for a walk, of expressing your opinion, of choosing your partner, of saying "no"... to make you the most grateful person in the world. But...wait a minute. Maybe you could also be considered "enslaved" after all. It's when you allow yourself to be conditioned, brainwashed by the media, by deceitful "speakers", by harmful habits and you give up your right to be YOU - the real you, the born-free you.
