Social Slavery
You work 8 hours to live 4.
You work 6 days to enjoy 1.
You work 8 hours to eat in 15 minutes.
You work 8 hours to sleep 5.
You work all year just to take a week or two vacation.
You work all your life to retire in old age,
And contemplate only your last breaths.
Eventually you realize that life is nothing but a parody of yourself practicing for your own oblivion.
We have become so accustomed
to material and social slavery
that we no longer see the chains.
Life is a short journey, live it!
Collect memories, not material things!
So do you see the cage and chains yet or no?
