What does slavery look like in the modern world?
A person with long-awaited freedom does not always know what to do with it. It is arranged so that even if it is given freedom, it will run itself in some kind of frame for not being free. Probably not – freedom.
If you analyze, you will see that a person is still in slavery.
Types of modern slaves: real slaves or from life to pay-per-check.
About half of the people live on one salary. This salary is enough for their wear, accommodation, food and travel. Thus, a person survives year after year until the next salary and accepts some. That means they lack salary. Of course, savings are not reversed.
In the same way, the real slaves survived. They were fed after clothing to work on behalf of the owner. When a person does not lose the ability to work, he immediately loses his value.
So on this day, if a person becomes a Diwali, he will be evicted from the rented accommodation and left without clothes and food. So, slaves have to work for the master to survive. They have no accommodation, but hopefully, some miracle will reveal it, so they do not mind, will not save for an apartment.
Artificially imposed values enslave a person.
In society, there is an imposed image of a successful person. To achieve this image, man deprives himself of the pleasures of ordinary life. Many do not build families because they believe that a good material foundation should be prepared for their success. For this, they are ready to bow their heads for 24 hours of work.
There is nothing wrong with people knowingly wanting to set the stage for a family. It’s a completely different matter when people think they need to carry everything invented for successful people. As a result, it turns out that a person works day and night to buy and sell things: an expensive phone, an expensive car, gold, diamonds. Despite being surrounded by comforts, he always has empty pockets because he immediately responds to the news of his need. And he is convinced that he needs it all. Moreover, a person always tries to buy something expensive because he does not have extra money to buy cheap (poor-quality, bad, unreliable) things. Above all, the price guarantees quality; The more the thing is spent, the better.
The saddest thing is that a person considers himself successful but becomes a slave to aggressive advertising, which pulls the strings of human pride, arrogance, and egoism. After all, no one needs an expensive iPhone, branded clothing, an expensive car, the contents of which are affordable.
You can actually buy the things you need, for example, a fridge to store food; Ordinary computers, not fancy; An average car that performs its function; Fabrics can be nameless but can be high quality, beautiful. Brands are artificially driven to the head, forcing a person to believe that he looks more expensive, more secure with this name.
Credit slave
A person acts as a squirrel on a wheel to close the existing close. He is satisfied with the credit policy, which allows you to buy something immediately and pay later. What will be of interest? All right, we’ll pay the interest. But you don’t have to save. As soon as a person closes the door, he enters the hole again, rejoicing that he does not have to pay the full amount, but in some parts, it is easier. However, if you weigh everything, the amount of overpayment can go from 30% to 100% if you take the manufacturer’s initial price. As a result, moving away from their wishes, a person is constantly forced to work and work to make their half of the money “uninterrupted” to money donors. And if he continues to live on credit, he constantly gives some of his personal money to the bankers. And here it is not that he needs necessities for his urgent needs, no, but the habit of staying on credit.
Often in our search for things, we forget that we are consumers, not vice versa.
This does not mean that you must live an ascetic life or keep money in your chest. You need to revise the budget and realize that even if one person works all day and the money earned is enough for one month, some changes need to be made. Otherwise, such a way of life is slavery. Perhaps your work needs to become more profitable, or you need to cut down on unnecessary things or choose a job that doesn’t take too long and makes it possible to live with it and has an active rest.
