NOT CAGED … YET NOT FREE.... it's time to fly

The mediocre ideology that prisoners are only those that are in jail is fading away. The world is now just beginning to believe that one can be in prison…yet not be a prisoner. Prison has a lot to do with the mind than the chains and the handcuffs. It is a mind-thing. Nelson Mandela was in prison for over 20 years yet he came out and ruled his country. Have you ever wondered why people who walk the streets will still wait for a man with a jail-term to lead the affairs of a country? 90% of prisoners are not in prison; 90% of those in prison are not prisoners.

Today’s discussion seeks to discuss what most people don’t like to talk about – not caged, yet not free. Isn’t it interesting that we have more prisoners that free men? You would always want to debate that, and I bet you could win especially if you are using correlation coefficients. But beyond the debate, beyond the analysis - taking into considering that the numbers of prison we have in the country cannot able to accommodate 1/3^rd of the nation’s population, you will logically agree with me that we have a lot of people, though not being sentenced to prison, still going about their normal businesses but who are still caged.

The top 20% population of the world enjoying the world’s 80% resources have discovered how to work out their freedom in the midst of prisoners.

This is how to know you are caged. You will know you are caged if you are still comfortable with the way things are going on with you. Comfort is a proof you’re caged. Man was not designed to be comfortable. We were designed to be comfortable being uncomfortable. Moreover, lack of enthusiasm is a proof you are in prison. Your passion drives your dreams. The day you’re not driven, you are just then beginning to go the opposite. Guess where? South!
