do you enjoy servitude, being controlled? probably not. that's not in the human spirit
but you probably have masters
and they need to die so you can live a life of your own making
but first need to know exactly who they are, which you do, I'll just help you identify them quick

to know who they are, let's quickly answer WHAT a master is; pretty simple; anyone, or anything that has control over you. in the mind.
they control your emotions and influence your thoughts, and you find yourself acting in response to them. they have mastery over you

the good news is; you don't need a machete or guns and muscle to kill them; they live in your mind.
anything that controls how you feel, act. see the world;
the news, a politician, a partner's mood, even something as trivial as a sports team.
all these things can be your master

some of them are your master in what seems like a good way; "702 informs me about the world", "Juju influences me to be better", "my girlfriend's happiness makes me smile".
others in a negative way; "i really hate what they say", "i get so upset with Arsenal!"
others in a negative way; "i really hate what they say", "i get so upset with Arsenal!"
either way, as long as they are influencing how you, your spirit, wants to live and be, and what you believe, they are your masters and are controlling your feelings, thoughts and behaviour, and that's not better than being the things you really want to be.
you might 'not mind' or even 'like' it, but deep down your spirit knows, and it explains why your stress and anxiety levels are so high when 'nothing is wrong'.
so you need to kill them.
so you need to kill them.
how? you might ask. well, that will differ from person to person
but i think the single most important step is backwards; step back and realise that they are NOT the universe.
neither is their impact on you

put everything in context and realise that they are just part of a pattern in the universe. a system that is replicated in so many different places between so many different people.
then you can go about the murder business.

this doesn't mean disengage; then they are just your masters in reverse; you are now spending your energy avoiding being influenced instead of being influenced by them.
they would still have that mastery over you.
they would still have that mastery over you.
it just means observe.
observe them & the system they're part of as a disinterested outsider
observer how other instances of the system work, and that way find out what role you were playing in the system.
then you can let go of their control.

at this point you're very very vulnerable; it is very easy to replace them with a different 'better' master; a more 'reliable' news source, a more principled (or dead) politician, your influence over your partner, Liverpool.
but the point is that the system of mastery is not allowing you to live your life on your own terms; there are no 'good' masters.
so what should you do?
i have NO idea. if i were trying to be your new master this is where i would offer my solution

but that is not my place. or anyone's place; you were born free and deserve to be yourself.
truth, beauty and laughter are wonderful things, and the happiest people seem to seek those things in the world.
so go find your own truth, all the beauty in the world and laugh about it

the freedom you get from unshackling yourself is yours to enjoy, and will make you seem wise and unshakeable.
if we all had it the world would truly be a better place, and we would find ways to fix all the evils that have mastery of us today.
