What is it that enslaves us, which keeps us from acquiring the freedom we all search for? Is it our constant desire to live longer than is customary, is it the wanting of more stuff, more influence and/or more of whatever it is we think we need more of? Or is it our selfishness, along with our insecurity, our desire to want to be safe? Here’s what the Buddha had to say on the subject:
It is not life and wealth and power that enslave men, but the cleaving to life and wealth and power. -Buddha
