The Prison's we sentence ourselves to

One of the worst things you can do in life is anything that puts you in a prison. The majority of you who read that probably thought the reference was to breaking the law. That's only one example. Life has become so much more complex than just abiding by the letter of the law. There are so many more rules we must abide by adhere to or face a punishment of some kind. Plus there's such a miniscule margin of error, that if we don't do all these things flawlessly, we could find ourselves in other types of prisons. Or worse, put someone else in a prison like a hospital bed for life after a night of celebrating that promotion you stayed just well inside the margin of error for three years to get. To put in such long, grueling hours, day after day.Getting out of bed on time to make it in to work punctually, skipping lunches and staying later than your boss Month after month, to get that extra step ahead of friends who sit next to you at your job only to make that one mistake of NOT stopping your celebrating early enough, sentencing someone you never met to the prison of a hospital bed, in need of constant medical treatmentor worse, the most permanent of prisons, death. While you are in prisoned, not just behind bars, but within the cage of guilt your conscience has put your soul in forever all because you weren't flawless for that one evening. For as far as we've progressed and evovled, we've also made less room for error in society, My error was not paying as close attention to my high blood pressure. Not being flawless about that aspect of my health caused a clot to form in by circulatory system. On one October evening in 2019, a piece of that clot broke off and traveled to a blood vessel in my brain causing an iscemic stroke. That stroke has forever paralyzed the left side of my body. sentencing me to a lifetime of not being able to move my left arm. At first it also mean't not being able to move my left leg as well. Inprisoning me to the use of a wheelchair for what I thought would be forever as well. We made things so complicated and complex that the margin for error has become so small, that nearly all of us has a good chance of losing a freedom we currently take for granted and being placed in a prison of some kind.Whether it's iron bars, a gulag of guilt, a hospital bed or a wheelchair. It's nearly impossible to avoid it. There is hope that you can release yourself from these prison's after being sentenced to live within them. Either serve your prison term, forgive your self and/or receive forgiveness from those you've harmed. Or choose to get your life back and become obsessed to regain the freedom you lost by working sunrise to sunset to rebuild your body. I lost 131 pounds and made myself strong again to get out of my prison, my wheelchair. I no longer need to be pushed by someone else to get down a hall or up a stairway. I stand up and walk it myself now.We must be flawless in life from maintaining our health, avoiding impaired driving, being careful in what we write, tweet, post online or it could cost us our source of income or reputation. Plus being being careful in what words we say and who we say those words to. I do find myself in another kind of prison now and it's in the form of medical bill debt. But that's a story for another time and I wanna go for a walk. Let Freedom Reign.
