Institutions

  

On February 28, I took a road trip; I drove to St. Louis! The ride was quite refreshing; although the scenic  route wasn't quite so appealing to me. However, I was able to clear my head. But this isn't why I am writing…  Here's what caught my attention.

I found my self on the highway in the middle of two interesting institutions:

The PENITENTIARY AND UNIVERSITY… I mean in the middle of "no where land" were replicas of advantages and disadvantages, opportunities and missed opportunities, freedom and bondage both physically and mentally for some.  I wonder when students look across the street what do they see? What occupies their thoughts? And vise versa..  When the inmates are out on the yard, what do they see across the street?

 

Now let me ask… How many times have you found your self between the pro's and con's of life?

What did you choose? If it's ok to make this assumption, I would like to think that the difference between those individuals were the choices they made  and as a result  one gained access to make decisions for themselves while one lost that, and others make decisions for them.

 

I am interested in what you think about this?

Your thoughts are welcomed either through post or email. I look forward to hearing from you...
