Our minds become slaves to those we see as having total power to control us and to cause pain to us. We are quick to give up control of ourselves to those who have the power to rule us as long as they also have the power to feed us. This is the fundamental construct of a feudal society. Majid Kazmi
About This Quote

In a feudal society, a monarch is a person who rules a country that is under the control of others. The monarch’s power is based on his ability to control those around him. In a feudal society, those with the most power have the most responsibility and those without power have little responsibility. In an attempt to protect themselves, members of societies like this become submissive to those who are perceived to have total control over them.

The result is that they lose their personal freedom and autonomy. It can be argued that this idea still exists today because people give up personal freedom for the sake of security.
