Steel and Cages
The world is a messy place, filled with structures that both enclose. Some are made of unyielding brick, standing as representations of our need for security. Others, like the metal cages that confine, represent a more severe form of discipline. But are they truly different? Perhaps the demarcation between these spheres is not as clear as prison we think.
- Questions arise about the nature of liberty when confronted with such strident structures.
- Is the security provided by these walls truly outweigh the loss of our own choice?
