The only slavery is mental slavery.

Even in a near-all-encompasing open-air capitalism-based concentration camp / soul harvester - there's always freedom.

You have the freedom to choose between:

A) Rejecting and beating up yourself and others and your current circumstances
B) Forgiving and accepting yourself and others and your current circumstances

A lot of loss and therefore grief comes with slavery, and the latter is a perfect formula for overcoming grief.

Stages of Grief:
0) Shock Event

1) Refusal to Understand
- incomprehension,
negation,
outright rejection

2) Resistance
- inertia,
argument,
revolt,
sabotage

3) Catharsis
- sadness,
lethargy,
despair,
depression

4) Resignation
- lack of drive,
aimlessness,
distrustful,
doubtful,
nostalgic

5) Reintegration
- acceptance of change,
realization of some benefit,
active lively engagement
