The Prison

"Carter Wills"

The greatest prison isn't some place with unscalable walls, or deep trenches and moats.

It isn't some place with ruthless guards, or endless corridors.

No, the greatest prison isn't even an actual prison. Not physically, anyway.

No. The greatest prison any one man or woman can be incarcerated is their own mind.

For there is no stronger cell for anyone than that of their own doubts and worries, guilts and regrets, troubles and insecurities, fears and jealousies.

Many often times throughout one’s life they are trapped within its walls, a bleak existence where it seems there is no escape.

But, no prison is without its flaws. In this case, those flaws are shown through by the positives of human nature.

Courage against fear, trust against doubt, acceptance against guilt, reason against jealousy.
Focus on those positives.
Those virtues.
The good of humanity.
And you shall find your light in the darkness.
You shall find your path.
And with it, you shall find your escape from your prison.

Even in life’s most bleakest moments, even when you are locked in the deepest cell of that prison, stay true to those positives.

And you shall be given your escape.
