Why aren't machines alive? To be alive is to be a slave to self.

In the world we live in today, we are witnesses to incredible machines that do extraordinary things and things that are extremely hard and even impossible for us humans to do. When we see that, we may somehow be intimidated by the idea of what may happen if they become aware of themselves and masters of their own.
Machines becoming masters of their own is a terrifying thought as they can be a lot quicker, stronger and have a greater danger endurance that us. If they become aware, it would be arguable that they would also be smarter than us. That reality may put us humans or even natural life forms in danger.
What makes the machines enslaved to us? What prevents them from owning a life and becoming aware of self? Where is the dividing line?
It is very evident and logical that things of significant meaning to a beholder and beholders as a whole and also things like life don't happen improperly. They must have a proper legitimacy in order for them to exist. If one looks at nature and the way reality unfolds, there is a general properness to everything. If it be proper for machines to obtain life then they will.
What is it to be alive though? What is the dividing line? What do machines need to posses in order to be legitimate to be alive? As stated earlier there is a legitimacy to everything in nature.
Well in order to be legitimately alive, machines need to be slaves of their own. If they are complex they need to be slaves and masters of their own. It is the same with any life form. To be alive is to be a slave to self, or in advanced cases to be a slave and a master of self.
