Slavery

So slavery totally exists, in case you were wondering. I see it daily. And I mean like physical slavery. Apparently I'm a bit naive about the world, I didn't expect to see it like i do, but my bubble in the states didn't tell me about how the rest of the world actually lives and views various people. It's both sad and frustrating. The things we see here just wouldn't fly in the states. I could go into it more, but I won't on here.

But don't think there still isn't slavery in the states. In fact I'm realizing I need to learn how to think and act like son and not a slave. It's ironic I've lived in a free nation my whole life, yet still don't fully know how to be free. Debt = slavery. So we are currently slaves to our school loans. There are some fears that own us and we're slaves to those. The most obvious, is money. Things...especially in the US...i'm so turned off by this idea that hoarding things for one's self is a way to live life.

This isn't iron clad and those are some of the big ones, but there are things that aren't as easy to see...like lies we believe or fears, the list goes on really. It's funny that I grew up a free man but still don't completely know how to behave like I'm free. I remember thinking in college "when I get out of here and get a job and make some real money then I'll be happy." There were like 4 different lies I believed in that thought alone. It's sobering to realize that I didn't fully understand that people are the real treasures in life until somewhat recently. I mean I've known enough to know that's what I'm suppose to think, but I didn't own it. I'm an heir not a slave.
