The prison of thoughts

31/01/2022 Nilson Lattari

Thinking is a way to live in prison. Maybe this sentence is confusing, exacerbated or inspires us. It can be everything, and yes it can be exactly these expressions. Thoughts can be everywhere and work in different ways. If we hear conversations around us unlike our perspective and we wish to make an intervention it will work to establish opposition.
We can say things even if we don’t know them in depth. But, if we hear nonsense arguments our thoughts will become bars and we will be confined.
Freedom running in the air is sweet. One of these special freedoms is knowledge, and we can feel it but, sometimes, we can get jealous of people who don’t know anything or imagine learning things. By the way, that’s a kind of prison: to solve this dilemma.
False conclusions are elaborated by stupid thoughts. While there are people who like to live in a world involved in ignorance, others, during their life, spend time studying, reading to try to understand the world. Then, these people become prisoners because they are trying to understand how this world will work if it has no sense.
To understand it it’s necessary to disturb our thoughts. This misunderstanding might happen if we debunk a supposed normal life and then we could live in a bubble and fantasize that we are free, but we are confined inside ourselves.
The world, nowadays, is open to many kinds of thoughts. Free speech is the model of the people’s liberty. After many fights looking for freedom, humanity, finally, figures out a world where we can communicate with each other, and then we wonder: what did we do with the freedom that we got?
The freedom running in the air is sweet but we need, sometimes, to make a diet. Often, we will be dangerous people if we try to demonstrate a way of life that is ok for us, and it wouldn’t be the same to others. But, we must be sensible to understand that everyone has his own idea about life.
The prison of thoughts makes sense among prisoners who are occupied with their thoughts. It is a spontaneous isolation. Reminding of the myth of the cave, it’s most comfortable to believe in the sense of shadows on the wall than to go outdoors to see the light. Darkness brings us comfort and dreams, and light asks us the obligation to see, feel and suffer with this. The sunlight brings us heat and burns, and not shadows for our protection. Is there sense to live under the sun?
Just bear in mind that prisoners make questions to abandon the prison, and free people want answers, even though they don’t need to go out to find the sun.
