Everything.

We have everything we need.  Everything.  Every smile we receive, every embrace we give, is a suggestion to remember the moments that truly matter.  Although history shows our empires being built on the backs of slaves, we must daily awaken to the notion that no man or woman should be building ANYTHING other than an environment where peace and freedom can flourish.  A place where we water the grass beneath us, not longing for different pastures.  A place where we take care of each other and build communities instead of commodities.  Where things hold little value, and peoples lives are exalted above our own.  The best way to eradicate slavery is to live simply, being thankful for every precious thing we have in this world.  To find an inner contentedness that no thief can upset or scandal offset.  Don't spend your life working for 'things.'  If you do, you are a slave who wastes his life on nothing.  Work for the good of others, for justice to be restored, and fight daily for the revelation that you really do have everything you really need.
