Contemporary Forms of Slavery


Marriage, work as employees and enrollment to go to war, are similar.

The collective psychology is not equal to the individual psychology multiplied by the number of members of the group. It is something essentially different.

Where I find most dramatic difference is in the attitude toward death.

It is easy to understand from introspection (reflection), how is it that humans, like you and me, enlist to go to war, to become very sad if a physical handicap that hinders participation, or, as parents we feel disappointed if your child makes attempts to evade this responsibility.

How did these individuals came to have that kind of thinking and feeling?

I can hardly suggest some ideas that may serve him as much as me.

Slavery is a social phenomenon, not only is millennia old but still in force. What has changed are the ways as presented, but the loss of freedom caused by other human beings, seems to be endless.

You may also think that humans organize ourselves counting the loss of freedom of the majority, that this situation is satisfactory to all unconsciously, though accustomed to complaining about it and displays of resistance as if we wanted to change something, but trying to change anything except in the forms but not in essence.

Working in a subordinate is a kind of slavery, but it is also married and both spouses work as if it belonged with each other, to the point of recrimination any act of infidelity.

The body belongs to each other (like a slave with his master) and this was celebrated with festivities ... as if we were allowed to go to war.
