Thank you. Thank you readers.
Many believe that freedom in and of itself is inherently good. It is not. In astronomical cases , having no freedom for many people is good. Taking away freedom is good.
Just putting that out there . Triggering you many about the misnomer of freedom.
Slavery though which is obligation to something, to do with that something you can do no otherwise is neither good or bad .
As I've stated over and over in the debate topic "the 9-5 is modern day slavery", slavery in essence , in its basic form and nature is being obligated in which you are unable to do otherwise, outside of, apart from , away from .
Now that carries a host of activities in our daily lives, doesn't it?
That's right , so that puts more credence to the fact that context is crucial to declaring what is good and bad or right and wrong.
The context of slavery is nominally associated with the history of this world we're living in up to this point in the 21st century. It's regarded as negative and the antithetical nature to it directly is freedom.
Hence the nominal association to freedom is automatically received as always positive.
Slavery bad , freedom good . No , slavery is not bad, freedom is not good.
That is until we isolate details .
Enslaving or imprisoning mass murderers is not bad but good .
Giving freedom to mass murderers is not good but bad . Not withstanding those who have completed their sentence and have been rehabilitated.
If I enslave you as a slave, that on its face is not outright automatically incorrect. Until we have the terms and context involved, we have no basis for what makes it wrong .
I made a statement that may have ruffled some feathers in the topic forum.
The slavery of the past didn't need to end. Many will argue it didn't end but transitioned. The slaves in chains put on ships into the fields with whips could have used some adjusting.
Now for those lack of adjustments, enslavement can be made back today to enforce reparation policy to make good on the short of rightful compensation.
Some believe based on the biblical scripture this will happen in the after life. Those that made those to be enslaved and to serve will be serving God's chosen in the kingdom.
Speaking of biblical scriptures, many , particularly atheists have this gripe concerning biblical support of slavery.
I won't argue with that . There's the basis of slavery from old to the new testament.
We educate out of that book as well as many other books, teaching, going to schools, learning, training, working in labor and contribute to society under laws.
Last time I checked, laws are meant to control freedom. Being bonded to keep laws, be law abiding and instilling habits to the youth in order for them to adhere and bond to behaviors is one context of captivating the minds of many for the good .
I conclude that slavery is not bad,not good outside of said context.
