I cry looking at our reality, through slave eyes. I bet they would say our generation has crossed the line.

About This Quote

I cry looking at our reality, through slave eyes. I bet they would say our generation has crossed the line. This quote is referring to the idea of the "slave mentality" which is the way slaves perceive themselves. Slaves built their lives around keeping their masters happy because they were forced to be slaves.

This quote reflects the idea that people today are living in a way that is similar to how slaves lived. People are slaves because they are forced to be, rather than choosing to be slaves. They are slaves because they can’t stand to see themselves as free people.

The reality is that all people are free, living in a society where slavery is illegal. Slavery has been abolished but it still exists in other forms that are more subtle and harder to see than the blatant slavery we know from history books and movies.
