Self ownership, freedom and equality.

There is no freedom.
There is only equality in death.
Self ownership is a feeling that results from human pride and is foolish as we own nothing we control nothing.
We live on borrowed time.
Freedom doesn't exist.
The great equalizer is death. Define ownership, what exactly is free, and what is equal to what? Concept that you own yourself is deeply flawed. You don't own yourself, you are yourself. To say that you own something implies that there is an owner and the thing that is owned. You can't sell your labor because you are your labor. The very idea of self-ownership turns people into commodities - they can now be bought and sold on the marketplace. Self-ownership paves the way for loss of freedom and liberty, and therefore equality. [1]Self ownership, freedom and equality.
