Perhaps everyone, at different stages of their lives, is so oblivious to other and better ways that they do not know how to abandon their current status and deposit themselves in a much better place. Some may even suggest that it is impossible for one to extract themselves, once trapped, and render themselves free of their trappings. So it was that the Demon Possessed man found himself in the proximity of the Pure and Holy one, and the demons inside the man recognized Jesus.

Whether possessed, or self-enslaved, have we found ourselves in the proximity of the Pure and Holy Jesus? Can anyone free himself from a captivity they may never acknowledge? Jesus is the only deliverer of men.

Mark 5:2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, Mark 5:3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: Mark 5:4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. Mark 5:5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. Mark 5:6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, Mark 5:7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. Mark 5:8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
