Prison Life
Any social structure that allows a few people to make the rules by which everybody must live is a prison. We all live in a prison. Our society is a prison. Our schools, our work places, our churches and, in some cases, even our families are the different sections of this prison. Making an effort to climb to the top of the hierarchy will not lead to a real escape. At the top you may live in a more luxurious cell, but it's still a prison. We will escape from prison life only when societies cease trying to micromanage us, and when everybody participates in making the rules that are necessary for practical reasons (like traffic laws), or to assure that some individuals do not force their will onto others. What we call prisons are only the innermost and most restrictive levels of the larger prison.
