Are you shackled?

I have been thinking about the system. The system that is in place right now. I usually say that it is slavery. Working 9-5 then going home to go right back to work the next day. Then you get your paycheck and spend your money on a nice restaurant, some nice clothes or the new gadget that just came out. Don't forget the sales that you have been seeing all week during your lunch break. It seems like everything is designed to drag you in, drag you in a hole so that you cant get out but at the same time convince you that you are happy. I find it incredible how far human society has gotten, yet at the same time how backwards everything seems to be going. It seems like we take ten steps forward and 15 steps backwards. I feel as though the system is like an ocean and we are always underwater swimming. The only time you come up for air is on a vacation. When the vacation is over back to the swimming, however there are some that are on boats and even some who are on land, yet most of us are swimming.

I don't know if you understand me but after being treated like an orange, where they squeezed the juice out of me then they just threw me out, I have opened my eyes and understood that the system is like a prison. But we all give up our liberty in return for something. And what is this something? it is for the state to protect us from ourselves, or rather people. We all pay for this. But what if you don't want this? That is too bad because you do not have a choice. This liberty that you give up it's forced on you because we live in a society. I am not against it but I am well aware that there is a group of individuals whom are in control and are taking advantage of it. Sometimes I feel stuck like the freedom that I am looking for I really do not have unless I move to a deserted island, which realistically I probably could not live in because after 2 days I will be missing the people I love whom are stuck to the system like flies in a glue trap. I feel like writing more but I feel like I am going around in circles and this is mainly because the system has us going around in circles. Unfortunately life has turned into a washing machine that just goes round and round and once in a while you throw a new piece of clothing, that gives it new a new color, yet it is the same cycle.
