Over here, we are left with very few choices, you work your butts off to earn stipends and you are so helpless because no matter the grind, you just have to survive, and that's all one's thinking about.
So basically, I have put my emotions in check and just let myself willingly be a part of this 'slavery'.
Yep, slavery is what it is. It's somewhat unavoidable, some put themselves into that position, but some is probably quite unavoidable, generally speaking.
