Well, my point isn't that the we are not in constant bondage, I am just saying that to muse upon the ways in which we are "enslaved" without the awareness that we can control of our fates in many ways can be destructive. By all means, we should not submit our wills to those who attempt to exploit us and rob us of our agency. But I feel like the stance of resistance is fundamentally a different one then a lamentation that we are all stuck in a world beyond our control.

And if you want to take this into a very conceptual frame of discussion then we can even challenge your views of desire themselves. Who is to say that our desires are not part of us? The language of psychology has largely inculcated within us a view that our desires and our insanities are not actually a part of us. This originally comes from, credit given to Foucault for this wonderful observation, the origin of insane asylums being catholic institutions called Lazarus houses, where the belief was that insane men and women were made insane by demonic, external forces. This is only one of many of the theses explored in Madness and Civilization, but effectively this has left us with this notion that madness is not something that is part of what we are but is instead something inflicted upon us that could hopefully someday be cured. The same is true of desires; we do not perceive the feeling of hunger to be our own, yet it is just as much part of our body as the stomach from which it originates. Or the desire for sex, is another. Someone can say "I don't want to have sex before marriage, yet I still feel the desire for sex" and can attempt to "remove" or "expunge" this desire, but that doesn't change the fact that that desire is part of us, even if we talk about it as if it was something with which we interact. Going even further, who is to say that desire is even necessarily a negative force that drives us to do things that do not benefit us or that ultimately end up costing us? Deleuze and Guattari propose that the fundamental essence of desire is that of production not just of consumption. The full details of that thesis are beyond my ability to easily recount, but the desired effect of bringing this up can hopefully still be produced; that desire is perceived not necessarily as something that leads us to procure things that we don't "need" to procure, or consume or experience or think things that we don't "need" to or that is not in our "best interest" to. Instead desire is the fundamental essence of all of our action, particularly the essence of creation. We are comprised of our desires just as much as any other part of "us" and those desires are a productive force.
