Self-inflicted Slavery
Being, and having, brings with it, some form of slavery.
He who has something to lose ends up being a slave to whatever that he has to lose. In the very same way that a sensible speaker is a slave to making sense.
So, as soon as an
unemployed person gets employed, he too
becomes a slave to “remaining” employed. And, he who plans a journey becomes a slave to its path.
The lover in he who marries becomes restricted to loving the lover in their lover.
Likewise, a reputable man is a slave to ‘maintaining’ his reputation.
(To be obsessed with ‘freedom’ is to be a slave.)
