I was celebrating my birthday one night and well, it was awesome!! But that is not what I am trying to tell you at the moment. I got a text message from a person I didn't know. He sent a text to me by mistake .I refused to continue our conversation at some point, even though he was a very polite person and wished me a happy birthday. We stopped texting, but a few months later we happened to meet in the network world again.
We spoke on the phone, interesting. He told me he was in prison and that didn't surprise me much. I am a very curious person and my purpose was to get as much information from him as possible. So I learned that it is not as bad in prison as they all tell. They live quite a life there, just a bit boring at times-that is the main idea in imprisonment, I guess. They are not allowed phones, but for decent money that you get through a prison's shop assistant or someone else from your parents or friends. Yeap, they have shops there in prison too, just like in real life, out here!
The most common question you ask a prisoner: are you guilty? The most common answer: I am not guilty. Yep. That is the truth-no man likes to admit fault and rarely does... Don't you think?! Thats what the statistics say and we all know.
The point I am trying to bring here is that we get to know people so unexpectedly sometimes. And actually very meaningful too. I later realised that that experience, his attitude to life was the opposite to mine. I realised how righteous my life was, how rewarding and rich. He helped me in the moment of despair, when I felt like in prison covered with problems, to feel freedom and presence of fantastic people around me.
