Painted Prisons

When I watch a movie now I think, someone made this—had the pleasure of working things out and producing their imagination; and I watch it. I shut my mind off, as a tip of the hat to the film makers. I submit myself to culturalization, and the branding of another person’s imagination. I keep thinking now, I could either be on one side of the screen, or the other.
Entertainment is inconsequential. Tomorrow is a worse day, for having amused myself yesterday. For falling short in self-discipline, I will fall hard against challenges. The hardest tested person must be the happiest, because preparedness is one of life’s greatest treasures. Relief, true peace, cannot come to the one who has not readied for adversity: against opposition, the prepared see peace.
