Where do you get that a free person is a slave? A slave to what, to who? You obviously are not free for if you were you could never make the statement
you did.
I didn't say that. I said the person that THINKS he's free is the biggest slave.
And yes, I realize that I'm not free, physically, therefore my spirit is free.
Like I said in the above post, we're not free. When we're born we are given a number, we have to live by society's rules and we have to obide the
government and pay taxes.
You are only free to do what you want if it's inside the preset boundaries.
People that don't realize this and think they're absolutely free, are indeed the biggest slaves, because they embrace the system and empower the
system.
That has to be the silliest comment I've ever read. I consider myself 100% free. I'm reacting to my own stimulus, not to any outside force.
Really? I'm thinking the same now.
100% free, own stimilus?


Are you not living under government rule, are you not paying taxes, are you not a number, were you not educated since a small child by a government
organised program, do you not have a mortgage(you may not), do you not work for a boss who expects you to show up five days a week in order to earn
money for your survival?
PS, it was actually a quote by Goethe, a well known philosopher, silly huh!
