Slave

Not being able to get what you want in life. Chained to duty or resigned to doing what others require you to do. Could suggest a strong feelings of resignation – resignation that it was of no use wanting something in life – you couldn’t get what you wanted, to be capable of insight. So perhaps you now simply worked mechanically, efficiently to get fed and sheltered.

It could also point to being all the time under another’s rule or command, having no say in what you want and also any power of making decisions.

Slave masters or driver are the habits or pressures you might put upon yourself to drive you on. They are the sort of urges that say, “Get up and do this or you will not eat or survive.” See: slave under archetypes.
