Prison
"Behave yourself or the police will come and catch you!" - Such a common threat issued to kids of my generation. Well, at least, in the part of the world where i grew up. So what if the police catches me? Will be put in prison!! Oh no..that would be the 'hell of the world'.
Well, with all thankfulness to various people who has contributed to my studies at the University of Life, I am able to see more light in many different part of life. One of them include, the prison! What so bad about this place where one does not need to submit their resume to be accept, nor to think what should be the menu for the next meal, nor, what do i do tomorrow? On contrary, menu is planned, activities or schedule all ready for you, and if behave properly and hardworking, may even earn some money without having to pay rent! Doesnt sound so bad afterall, does it?
However, with deeper thoughts, what is a prison?! It definitely does not only consist of a building or an organization to keep human kind. It actually extends from east to west and from south to north. It is everywhere!! We do not need to commit an offence to be there. Sometimes, innocence or naivity will also land us in a prison. But...how?
Mentally, emotionally!!! We set some ideal scenarios and way of life that we think we ought to live by. Hold a respectable job, living in a certain type of place, and having a faithful, truthful, fun and adventureus part or being the perfect person for your life partner. (even having one!) Such thought that we harbour itself is already putting us into a prison. How can we ever be perfect and have a perfect live in this imperfect world? How long are do we have to be confined in such prison to come to our senses!!
The most severe punishment one may get for an act would be lifetime imprisonment and many of us are carrying out one or more of this sentence. Simply by having our hearts hardened. Have you ever thought, 'I will never be able to live like that again', or you feel once while doing some activities and never find yourself doing the same activity again. Invisible bricks are laid around us to form a wall....it is as if walls are not enough like in a jail, hence, additional enhancement has to be added on.... 100% safety where no intruders are able to come in. The question would be..we are safe within the wall, but are we in the positon to move out of the 4 walls? Can we live normally and feeling light?
Prison! Whoever that come up with such idea would be a smart person...the worst torture is not by death(capital punishment..no no) It is not able to die but having to live to be reminded of their action.
