Slavery refers to a condition in which
individuals are owned by others, who
control where they live and at what
they work. According to the wikipedia,
Slavery is a legal or economic system in which principles of property law are applied to humans allowing them to be
classified as property, to be owned, bought and sold accordingly, and they cannot withdraw unilaterally from the arrangement. In other words, the aforementioned owned individuals are called SLAVES.
On the other hand, FREEDOM is the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved. It is the power or right to think, speak and act as one wants. FREEDOM is the removal of restriction from ones movement and legal actions.
After accessing the two facts supra, is it not contrasting to call someone a slave of freedom? I.e a slave of dis-enslavement. Well the topic SLAVES OF FREEDOM was just to create our awareness to the fact that humans are getting lost into freedom. Some act we make out of freedom are uncalled for.
Through out the history of man, from the ancient world to the modern world, slavery have existed, human keep and will keep agitating for freedom. Majority of humans won this freedom fight but in turn became a slave of them self(flesh) and the so called liberty took control of everything.
The disadvantages of having too much freedom is the loss of control amongst the people. Anarchy. The more freedom you have the less government the less service that can be provided to a person. A person could have the freedom to walk around and kill people at will. People trade freedom for safety in our society today.
Take for example, the call for the same sex marriage is all grounded on the fact that everyman has the freedom to do what he wants with is body. Another example is the husband and wife equality status, another act which is grounded on the fact of individual independence. Although a man might be free to do what he wants, but have the consequences of this acts being evaluated? The passing of a bill for same sex marriage encourages such a devilious act and a bill for equal status in marriage will tear apart marriages. Imagine a world where even cultist push for freedom of association, that is the world we are
A slave of freedom wants what makes him happy, does he really thinks about the state of other people's happiness in relation to his own happiness? NO, he doesn't care, all he care about is AM I HAPPY? For instance the SLAVE wants freedom to engage in same sex marriage but does not think that his action might corrupt the mind of the general public. The slave smokes in the public place because he is free to do so, without thinking about the health of the people in his environment.
Conclusively, for a better society to exist, we need to check our mind, our conscience and our thought, are we not 1 of the people FREEDOM have enslaved?, are we not lost in HIS tentacles? If we are one of HIS slaves, I urge us to take a stance against FREEDOM'S unforeseen tyranny today.
