Why is it said that the worst punishment is to be trapped and confined?
Try being free
But feeling trapped

 

Imagine having a voice
With no one to hear it

 

Imagine having thoughts
With no one to listen to them

 

Imagine having a hand
With no one to hold it

 

Try being among a thousand people
But feeling alone

 

Try running in open plains
But feeling boxed in

 

Try having emotions
But no one to understand how you show them

 

Picture craving human touch
But fearing the contact

 

Picture desiring to live an adventure
But feeling pain from loud sounds alone

 

Picture longing to share your wonderments with
But having no way for them to understand the way you see things

 

Envision avoiding loneliness
By creating friends of your own

 

Envision avoiding feeling frightened
By going on adventures in books

 

Then envision realizing that all your adventures and friends
Can’t help you in the real world that they are all just for nothing

 

So after imagining all of this
Realize that the whole time you have been free
So is entrapment and confinement truly the worst punishment
Or is there a punishment greater?
