Is a slave still a slave if they do not realize they are one?
For purposes of this question define slavery as narrowly or widely as you like.

Explanations
One thing that people have to understand about life, is that in society, we naturally comply with authority without questioning it. Society (or the government) wants us to conform and behave a certain way, and we don't question it. We're not clued up on the system we live in, but we like to believe that we are. We delude ourselves. Did you know that you have just as much rights as a policeman? You can arrest them, just as much as they can arrest you. They have no extra rights granted to them, but when they ask to search without a warrant or for someone's name on a stop-search, people comply and follow orders anyway, as they are transfixed by the uniforms. This is because people naturally comply with authority. The sooner you realise this, the sooner you will realise that people are sheep.This not only manifests in people's behaviour, but also how they think. People like to believe that they are their own person, but when it comes to the system, you will find that they really are not. Delusional yes.
Thank the woman who posted a comment on Yahoo! Shine for this one.
I don't think that one requires an explantion. Let's just say that when you're depressed, typically the biggest decision you can make is what food to eat.
If you're scrutinised for the little bad you do, with the good you do going unnoticed, while feeling unloved/unappreciated and lost in the world with a bleak prospect, what's the point? Your life will be forever be about living other people's life, and you'll be a prisoner of your own life.
Why is it morally wrong to cheat in a relationship?
