You just can't.
Looking back at the past years, the heaviness in his heart could be seen vaporizing. The chains being shattered. Absolutely awed and dumbfounded. Unexplainable. Overwhelming. Hope illuminating the entire place. Freedom
The photo scene evokes a feeling. The absence of which one could be lost to depair. It is often said - "You never know the value of what you have until you lose it". Freedom is priceless. Captivity (mental/physical) on the otherhand is debilitating and crushing.
It pays to be open-minded, thinking freely and letting go of every depressing state rather than being enslaved/imprisoned by our state of altered mind-set - distractions, worries, problems, mistakes, environment etc
Once a serene environment is established in ones consciousness, one becomes sane even in a hostile or insane environment.
I'm advocating the mind is cleared of every mental plug or debris that impedes free flow of thoughts, ideas and knowledge
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free - John 8 : 32
The knowledge of the truth or knowledge itself, [we all know] sets one free. His name was "Solomon Northup"...he lived with a lie of a name - "Platt" . Ignorance on its own is a disease. And yet, there are a billion and one aspects of life - with people indulging in one activity or the other. By hook or crook. You get all you can, and can all you get, then sit on the can and let it spoil.
Discrimination, anger, ambush, hatred, bitterness, jealousy, poverty etc - all 'free particles of dirt' around a bad workman, who quarrels with his tools. It's unfortunate that one can still lock up him/herself up mentally, breeding a messed up state. Creating a vicious circle of stagnancy and ill will. Perhaps, it becomes not "12 years a slave - but a slave for enternity"
