Is Lifea Slavery Or A Prisonery?



People think satisfaction lies in
Good food, fine clothes, lively music, and pleasures;
Whenever all these things cannot really satisfy
They realize happiness is not simply having material needs met;
Society then set up a system of rewards beyond material goods
They include titles, social recognition, status, and political power;
They wrapped up in a package called self-fulfillment
Attracted by these prizes and goaded on by social pressure;
People spend their short lives tiring body and mind
This gives them the feeling that they have achieved something in their lives!
In reality they have sacrificed a lot in life;
They can no longer see, hear, act, feel, or think from their hearts! Everything they do is dictated by whether it can get them social gains
In the end, they've spent their lives following other people's demands and never lived a life of their own! !
How different is this from the life of a slave or a prisoner?
