Enslaved

Blood shot eyes, messy work area, zombie-like face. The marks of a computer's slave. He works for hours in front of the PC, doing work. A typical slave is a college student. They are usually captured around the time their finals are drawing near. Their professors, think its good fun to give them work up to their eyeballs. They think its fun to over work their students and make them think that the job their doing is extremely relevant to whatever job they will be getting in the future. In reality, the students are also the slaves of their teachers.

Students think they know what freedom is. But little do they know that their concept of "freedom" is actually another form of enslavement wherein they think they're free, but in reality, they are still trapped. Think of it this way, a sheep is left to wander the field. he can go as far as the fence. His freedom ends where the fence begins.

We are the sheep. Our parents, teachers and politicians, they are the fence. They stop us from doing what we want. and force us to conform. They want us to act "normal". But what is normal? No one really knows. every country, and everyone has a different sense of what is "normal". some think it's normal to put nutella on their hotdog. Some find it strange. What to me is normal, is to you strange and unacceptable.

We let ourselves be enslaved by society. We let ourselves be formed in the image of society's "norms". Is it relevant? I don't know.

In fact, I don't even know why I'm telling you all of this while my work is waiting to be done. Just remember this: We are all enslaved one way or another. no one is really free. The fence cannot be seen now, but you will come across it, soon enough.
