Stop being slaves

Stop being slaves

Be obedient, study, work, marry, have children, get pregnant, watch TV, consume, and decorate your home at Christmas. And above all: NEVER ask what you have been told to do. This is what they tell us as soon as we are born and assimilate it as a certainty while living according to all this as if we were slaves.

Society and tradition, from the day we are born, exert a powerful influence on us. We are indoctrinated, to obey guidelines and guidelines predetermined by the majority and to systematically reject new ideas. To avoid thinking otherwise and thus fit as it should in society.

«We are part of a society so sick that those who want to heal are called weird and healthy people are labeled as crazy»

-Jiddu Krishnamurti-

We are discouraged from being part of a prefabricated chain of life, but we associate any attempt to change with frustration and failure. Stopping to think to change our mentality, take the reins of our existence, face us against our fear of freedom.

We enjoy mechanisms that guarantee the psychological paralysis of society

There are certain mechanisms that make us slaves to situations and that affects us in many areas of our lives. It is a way of proceeding learned and we have to start questioning to change the course of all this.

The fear

Fear, the more fear and insecurity we have, the more we need to be protected (the State, the institutions, will become our allies). That's how we work, based on fear. We have a series of mechanisms that guarantee our paralysis, a psychological paralysis.

Fear is a traditional way that the worst dictators in history have had to perpetuate themselves in power. They try to make us see that what we can lose by following our judgment is much greater than what we can gain if we decide to set it aside and do what they tell us.

A mature society is one that takes real awareness of the risks and takes them into account their fair measure to evolve. Otherwise, society stagnates, does not move forward and continues with the same ways of thinking and proceeding from a century ago.

«We must not become slaves of ambitions and desires that we do not have and that the mediocre suggest us to dominate ourselves»

-André Maurois-

Self-deception

Thanks to self-deception, we lie to ourselves, so as not to face the fears and insecurities inherent in any process of change. To achieve this, it will be enough to look the other way, to use infinite forms of entertainment to avoid ourselves 24 hours a day, it will make us live drugged.

Also denying reality or repeating ourselves infinitely that everything is fine, is a way to deceive ourselves and at the same time to become slaves of what we would have to face with fortitude and strength.

Resignation

Exhausted physically and mentally, we decided to conform, saying that "the life we ​​lead is the only one possible." We believe that we have nothing to do, that there is a predetermined destination that we cannot modify and, in this way, we do not make decisions, we do not change, we allow ourselves to be resigned.

Assuming to be victims of our circumstances, we use arrogance and cynicism against people who think differently, to defend ourselves in case we feel questioned. And we fill ourselves with skepticism to justify a second-hand life.

«Judge for yourselves if you belong to the slaves of yesterday or the freemen of tomorrow»

-Jalil Gibran-

Laziness

Laziness, whose meaning means "sadness of mind who does not do with his life what he intuits or knows he could do." It is that feeling that, at times, we believe that it is there to deceive ourselves and not do what we really want to do.

Nobody said it was easy, but to start changing you just have to take the first step. We have the willpower for it, you just have to give it a push. Laziness is just another form of self-deception, of being slaves.
