TEXT: Epistles

Show me who isn't [a slave]! One person is a slave to lust, another to greed, a third to ambition - and all are slaves to hope; all are slaves to fear. I will give you an ex-consul who is a slave to a little old lady, a wealthy man who is a slave to a servant girl. No servitude is more shameful than the kind we take on willingly.
