Prison Time in a World of Freedom
Addictions and obsessions, physical limitations and maladies may turn our otherwise free reigns and independent sovereignty into a place of enslavement or "locked up" time, as it were.
Most of us were supposed to be be born free but there are obvious physical and social limitations in our lives. Literal slavery and bondage have always existed, poverty and destitution exist, death and infirmity have their imprint, oppression and suppression are around in all times and climes. We are subject to the natural laws of the universe as well as the physical, financial, and mental limitations of what we have inherited in nature and later through our respective nurtures.
Then there are the mental and emotional cages and prisons that we either choose to be enrolled in or are involuntarily thrust into. Drugs, to include tobacco and alcohol, or too much sugar, to become obese or diabetic, gambling and its excesses, sexual appetites, sports fetishes or addictions, any number of psychological, sociological, emotional, spiritual traps, addictions, obsessions, vices, unruly habits...
We get ourselves into intellectual and religious habits and perhaps vices, if destructive enough, and we also can become addicted to and prisoner to work, to power, to control, to the money and its powers and excesses, to fame or fortune or whatever type of endorphin rise that we derive from out supposed actions and wills.
Meant to publish in September (18) of 2020. Did not until September 29, 2023.
