Friday, September 22nd, 2006"The nearer we are to danger, the farther we are from harm!"- Peregrin Took
a foolish saying i would say whenever i watch LOTR the two towers. it had no sense. but in the movie, it worked. so it must’ve been correct.
however, as i ponder on these words, i realize that it was true. well i’m in no danger but the same principle applies to my predicament.
"the nearer you are to prison, the more freedom you have!"
it may seem idiotic but it’s true. when an inmate is within prison walls, he can walk, talk and do whatever he wants (just as long as it is legal) freely. the opposite happens when he is out of prison walls. like when he is being transported to another prison, he is put in chains. he is not allowed to do as he pleases.
i’m not saying that i’m a prisoner literally. what i’m saying is that the state of my freedom has changed.
i thought going out of prison was freedom. but the clasps that surrounds me has gotten tighter now that i’m trying to distance myself. i’m don’t want to break away, i just want to have my liberty back!
see, when you delve a little deeper into the sentence it becomes a pocket of wisdom.
