Movie: The Matrix: There are only four types of people you will encounter in your life:
-
Those who try to wake up the slaves
-
The masters of the slaves
-
Those who have no idea they are slaves
-
Those who enjoy being slaves
William: I don’t understand this constant use of the word "slaves."
That word has become too subjective over time.
Even in the movie, it doesn’t make much sense, since humans are used as an energy source, not as laborers themselves.
People confuse “the need to work” with slavery, and then it's just "whining."
Angelo: Not always does working under certain circumstances mean you're a potential slave.
To me, the greatest slavery is mental.
William: "Mental slavery," to me, is "poetry." 😉
In reality…
Being a slave means being someone else's property.
How your owner treats you can vary infinitely.
Angelo: Exactly, willingly being someone else’s property, whether it’s the system or an ideology, is a hell of a poetry.
William: I agree.
