Are you really ‘Free' from societal chains or are you just simply stating it, ‘Dom?' If you don't recognise that your existence is being manipulated by those in power then you better wake up before it's too late. This expression revolves around our daily lives and provides logic to daily living that can enable us to succeed or fail. People get so entangled by the chains of life that when we actually open our eyes, we realise that we are in too deep. Now the point I'm trying to make is that we get trapped by our weaknesses and our desires based on our need to be accepted and so we become actors when dealing with matters such as debt, love and life.
Firstly, debt is the destruction of the soul. We know that buying a new car would be unnecessary because the one we have is in perfect condition but we proceed to purchase that new car because we want to live up to the Jones' and be in the spot light. So I make the distinction by saying that we would be DOM and put ourselves in debt, rather than being content with what we have and in turn be FREE from that DEBT.
Secondly, a common one is love and this too can be seen from many different perspectives. One being, that when in love, we tend to think that nothing can go wrong in our relationships and we live in ignorance only to find out that our partners are self centered and controlling. Now when we realise this, we say ok we will forgive them but their behavior is recurring because they have not seen the wrong in their actions. Now if you are bitten once you can forgive but if you are bitten three times for the same thing, then obviously you should realise that the person is not good for you. However, because of weakness and lack of self-esteem we continue in a relationship that does not prosper us but leads to self destruction. Also, when someone betrays you it's he/she fault but if you are betrayed again then it's your fault. So are you FREE in the sense that you can realise when something is bad for you or do you enjoy being Dom and continue pursuing a life of ignorance?
Lastly, do you know what you want out of your life, or are you just another statistic? If your answer is yes to knowing your purpose, then are you making it a reality? Are you FREE in the sense that you can trust in God and believe that He will guide you to the right path while you reach for your dreams and touch the stars or are you DOM and tied down by lifes obstacles, you have turmoil in your mind because your relationships create confusion, and you living the image of an ordinary citizen and the life others would like to see? Or are you living for yourself and gaining wealth at being just you?
