Holidays exist to make one forget they are slaves. While they indulge the festivities tossing coin they shouldn't have, their masters in truth gave them permission for a day off. One can not expect to be worked an entire year without resentment. Throw a few breaks and you actually begin to look forward to them. Predictably. The greatest forms of manipulation are never questioned. Especially ones which put you farther into debt and more dependent on your masters.

A free being you are not, you repeat the past and are doomed never to learn.
