Slavery

We, I mean I, often talk about being slaves. We are, as well. We are slaves to the world we live in. If I could choose a life in much the same way as I choose a product, this would not be it. I would be free, of course. It always comes down to that word - "if."

Is my life so awful? No. My life is much like yours. I worry too much, perhaps, but on the whole I have a life that many would take now if push came to shove. I am a slave to the phone company and the electricity company and so on, but I am lucky.

There are an estimated 29 million slaves in the world who don't worry too much about the phone company and the electricity company and so on.


I don't know where this is going to take me. One thing is clear: certain problems on this planet are insoluble.

Slavery is not one of them.
