If you blame wealth and power, you're no longer in control and are under stress like a slave

If you blame wealth and power, you're no longer in control and are under stress like a slave.

You will tend to project onto those to whom it most easily sticks if you rely on others to make important decisions for you. Why will you project like this? Because it helps you temporarily to 'escape' from the problems you created for yourself.

The best politicians are super at convincing you of this approach in life. 

For example, if someone asks you what stocks or assets to invest in, they will never be in control of their decision because somebody else will have decided for them. This will be a difficult to control stress factor for them because it was not them who decided but an authority figure or expert or just somebody else.

If they decide in their own right, even if they lose in the end they won't have suffered that stressful slave-like condition where they're not in control. They will be well in the mind still. If they believe what someone else told them to believe, even if they win, it will only have been a win in material terms. Where it matters they will now lack that much more self esteem.

So the difference between a free man and a slave is that you make the choice. 

Whatever that is for you, make the choice, in your own right, and you will remain in control of your destiny. That's not to say it will succeed materially. It is to say that you made the choice and that makes you a free man. Not a slave. 

There are many materially poor freemen. And an overwhelming majority of wealth slaves.

Do not blame wealth and power. Its a projection. You use to escape from the problems you have created for yourself in the world.
