…Protected or Imprisoned… ?
At time we feel so imprisoned by the boundaries of the good or right behavior. Or to say it in other words – the norm and what is expected from you during your socializing life. Wouldn’t it be simply great to break free from everything and everyone demanding of you to fit in the society, or the group of individuals with whom, you are working or sharing a hobby? And at times even from your own family and their boundaries of what is good or bad – right or wrong?
Can one help it when feeling like suffocating at times, be it suffocating from the anger one is feeling or the tears that one is trying to suppress? Sure, this person could choose to go to live on his/her own. In a far away place where no one knows them, a place where the person could be, and act, or do the way they choose to. However no matter where one goes – in any of the societies on this Earth there are written and un-written laws that one is expected to follow if living there.
And is this the reason some people choose to go to live in remote places all on their own and without any human contact? I wonder if I will be able to do something like this – the choice of being on your own and having the company of yourself alone could be very hard. Or not hard at all – depending on how strong you stand psychically, and if one’s own company is enough. We all know the saying: “Better alone than in bad company” – but, than one is referring not the real meaning of “alone,” the alone of living without any company of other people around you. No, here “alone” is temporary without such friends and not the – on your own and all alone. Wonder how any one of you feels in regards, and would love to read it here.

I was talking to a friend of yours last week, he said look up the title Protected or Imprisoned Totally. I found it on Google and a place called Blogcop.com which was great. I had a good read and it seem like a similar situation, speak to you later.
