No freedom: they tell you when to wake up, how to stand, when to speak, what to eat, what clothes to wear, when to shower, where to sleep, what you can buy, what you cannot own, how much money you can earn, when you can leave this hell.

When you get out, don't be the 80% who return to the cycle of captivity. Do something with your life. Resist the streets, the drugs, the violent urges. Overcome the abusive parenting, the poor education, the chaotic cities, the degrading sneers.

It's like you're a frail paper clip, and the system is one of those horseshoe magnets. The magnet can very easily pull you in. Once you're lured, you're trapped. The best way to escape is push a median to divide you and the magnet. Perhaps a sheet of paper (education). Perhaps a block of wood (vocation). Perhaps a protective cloth (therapy).

Whatever it takes, resist the attraction.
