Page 3 of 6 FREEDOM TO ACTIt is at the physical level that the real nature of slavery takes shape. It should be obvious that a man or woman who is free is not only free to choose, but is free to act upon his or her choices. He or she has freedom of action. On the other hand, if one is a slave, then he or she may not act as they please. Rather, he or she must act as the slave master wishes him or her to act. It is far easier to compel a particular type of physical action (or to prevent it), than to compel a particular thought or mental choice. The slave experiences external controls over his actions. He or she does what they are told. Ideally, he or she would do nothing he or she was not told, and would do everything he or she was ordered to perform.
