Prison takes away all your responsibility’s, no bills to pay, cloth,s to buy or choose no wondering what’s for tea, your life is organised and structured for you if you don’t mind loosing your liberty,s it’s quite a safe environment 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 44,178 Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 I have visited more nicks than I ever wanted to in my life, they are without exception f***ing horrible places……what does that say about life when prison is the better way of being alive ? That’s a damning indictment of society that is…….it’s positively Victorian ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dytkos 17,528 Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 I've recently experienced a mental health situation in the family, had lots of professional support plus close friends (we ain't got many) and family, we seem to be "out of the woods" at the moment. Get all the help you can from every source because there is a cure out there, the hard bit is finding it. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And there you have it brother, a bloke being the change he wants and having an affect much wider than himself…..didn’t cost him a thing to do it and he is remembered for it. I read a really good thing in a novel once, the main character was talking to his elderly mum and saying how he felt helpless in the face of a big situation with powerful people who would overwhelm him and his loved ones.…..so he was probably going to turn his back and leave well alone. His mum slapped him round the face, that being the first time she had ever hit him and said: “God put good and evil in the world in equal measure, when you do something good it puts a little bit more good in the world but if you see evil and do nothing then evil wins…..if you are a good person then do good and help good flourish.” That always stuck with me, it can be as simple as not being pig ignorant at a supermarket check out…..little acts of kindness wether that be a “good morning, how are you” or just not being a total arsehole to someone less fortunate than yourself increases the good and that helps everyone.
