I wonder how many of the newly wealthy hollywood crowd destroy themselves with the liberty to do as they please. 



the so called Hollywood crowd is NOT free .  They cannot do as they please. They can't drive on the wrong side of the road  just because they are rich.  they might be able to buy as they please.......for a while.  Is living under constant media scrutiny a form of freedom?? Nope.   Is having to live in gated / secure homes being free?? Nope.    Is having to move around with body guards a form of being free?? Nope.    Money is shallow......and  can buy a lot of materialism.  But it cannot buy  true inner freedom  / inner peace   and other critical human elements and needs.   It does not buy happiness  as in inner contentment/fullfillment.  It just creates the "want' for more. .....and enslaves  a person to pathological / extreme consumerism.



People are enslaved in many ways.   some enslave themselves by choice. ( addictions  are the ultimate enslavement )  some are enslaved psychologically.  (  to their needs, their  wants , their things .....well, you get the drift.) Of course   the big enslaver now is FEAR.....and  the fact it is continuously being exploited by their (US) Gov.t  But then fear  has been used as a political tactic  since man discovered politics . How else does a gov't control a population??   Even the neanderthal  realized this.
