Imprisonment and slavery

Do you have a office? do you report to your office and sits in your cubical for 8 hours or more a day? is this lifestyle what you want? Or you are just getting used to it and seems no way to get out of it?

Life these days are more of life imprisonment. Be it you are in retail or service sector or in office jobs, OL (Office Lady) and OG (office Gentlemen), you are constantly struggle between personal and work time. Everyone is at least imprisoned for 44 hours a week in the office and finding themselves in difficult situations and workloads. This is a typical life of a Singaporean. End of the week, you find yourself 2 days free, but dont know what to do or simply dealing with housework. Is this lifestyle of yours? Is this the way you want to live?

Do we have any choice? The choice to choose? The choice to do what we want, to fulfil our dreams? As much as we want, we are always constrained and unwilling to change. We become slavery of to the monetary gains and Companies that provide us with the vitamins (M). By the time you feel like going for retirement, you feel that you are too old to move or stranded with other commitments and when the time comes, we leave this world with regrets.

So is that what the most intelligent being in this Mother Earth we found is doing? As much as we are clever and better than any other animals, we have self proclaimed a system, a cage that stores everyone and imprisoned everyone, be it willing or unwilling, the day we are born we are being tied to the economy, the prosperity of the nation. And Bureacracy and Human rights we call it, have turned slavery legal. Isnt it simply pathetic? Or i should say sadly, intelligent being imprisoned by their own creation.
