SLAVE?

I HAVE BEEN WRITING AND RESPONDING TO BLOGS ALL DAY AND I MUST ADMIT, I AM VERY ENLIGHTENED IN MANY AREAS.  ALTHOUGH I KNOW THAT I AM BOTH SMART AND INTELLAGANT, I ALSO KNOW THAT THERE IS MUCH FOR ME TO LEARN AND I AM EAGER TO DO JUST THAT.  ONLY A FOOL WOULD THINK THAT THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO LEARN IN A WORLD THAT IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING.  I AM A VERY VOCAL PERSON AND I ENJOY SPEAKING ON DIFFERENT TOPICS, I NEVER WANT TO FIND MYSELF SPEAKING IGNORANTLY, SO I TRY TO STAY INFORMED.  ONCE I AM INFORMED, IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FORM MY OWN OPINOIN.  TODAY  WHILE READING AND RESPONDING TO A FACEBOOK STATUS, I WAS FORCED TO ASK MYSELF THE QUESTION THAT I AM NOW ABOUT TO ASK THE WORLD.  WHAT ARE YOU A SLAVE TO? 

SLAVERY IS  BEING HELD IN A STATE OF INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE AS THE PROPERTY OF ANOTHER.  IT IS THE STATE OF BEING UNDER THE CONTROL AND INFLUENCE OF SOMEONE OTHER THEN YOURSELF.  I KNOW THAT WE HAVE THIS VIVID PICTURE OF WHAT SLAVERY MEANS BUT IN MODERN DAY, MANY OF US ARE STILL ENSLAVED.  TODAY PEOPLE STILL MAINTAIN THAT OPPRESSED, SLAVE MANTALITY.  IN STEAD OF SPEAKING LIFE AND ECOURAGING A BETTER WAY, WE CHOOSE TO CONFORM TO THE THINGS THAT SOCIETY SAY ARE APPROPRIATE.  MANY OF US HAVE TO LEARN THAT IT IS A BADGE OF HONOR TO BE WHO YOU ARE, WITH OUT ALL THE EXTRA FIXING.  MATERIAL GOODS DON'T CHANGE WHO YOU ARE BUY ALL THE GOLD, POLO AND GUCCI YOU WANT, IF YOU AREN'T HAPPY IT WON'T MAKE YOU.  LEARN TO THINK OUT OF THE BOX AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WORLD REALLY IS ABOUT.  GOD CREATED US ALL WITH PURPOSE AND IF YOU ARE LIVING IN YOUR PURPOSE, IT SHOULDN'T MATTER WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE.  THE FACT IS YOU HAVE WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO HAVE IS A DESTINY FULLFILLED. 

BACK TO THE QUESTION THAT I ASKED EARLIER, WHAT ARE YOU A SLAVE TO?  IS IT DESIGNER BRANDS?  IS IT GOSSIPING?  HOW ABOUT DRUGS?  MAYBE IT IS SEX..... OR EVEN MONEY........ ARE YOU HOLDING YOURSELF IN A STATE OF SLAVERY WITH YOU NEGATIVE THINKING AND ACTIONS?  IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU IDENTIFY WITH THE THINGS THAT OPPRESS YOU BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO OVERCOME THEM.
