I am now a happy slave. But who is a happy slave? Forget about the
chained ones or those who work under duress. I am talking about the new era
slaves. Chances are you are one of them. Since most of us aspire to be one. The
best thing about new era slavery is that you are able to choose your master who
intern determines your pay. All in all we are subject to a person who reigns
supreme over us. And they are small lords we need to worship.
If you have stayed at home for some period of time, you usually just
want a place where you will go and interact with other fellow beings in order
to get money. Money is the king in the current
world. All and sundry are working towards being financially stable. Even those you think have made enough still
want more. There is the
maintenance of status quo which
you have to work for or else,
time and money will work against you.
So as a happy slave, you need to wake up very early in the
morning. You think that the process ended when you left high school. After struggling in high
school, you get a relief by going
on vacation in campus. This is because, while in campus, it
was a journey of fairy tales. No bells, reminders or pushers. Just you to decide whether you are going to follow the rote or
not. It is like you prepare yourself
in life for big things just to end up having your life determined by another
individual who perhaps does not care about you.
Sometimes I rue why I was born in this situation. Where was my grandpa while other men of equal stance were building dynasties and empires in
preparation for a better life for their future generation. Perhaps, by now I would have been thinking about going
to the next level. Either
building up on the retained wealth or using it impetuously forgetting that tomorrow
will come. However, chances are, the latter effect would have never
surfaced.
Since I am now a
happy slave, I will have to take it easy. The sky is now the limit. The only
problem I usually have is that I
am never a stickler to time or love commitment. But now there is room for improvement having learnt from the past mistakes. As you grow, you become wiser. Wisdom
is the source of wealth.
Since I have lost the verve that I initially had and given that I
am waiting for it to resurface, I must end there hoping that in my zetetic endeavour of being a
happy slave, I will get further insight and be able to grow and go big in the
new found venture.
Hasta La Vista, Baby.
