In a paradise or a prison there exists two lot of people or two groups of people, both residing within the same premise. The ward or Jailor who are watching the other group of confined prisoners. One group of people are happier compared to other group.
One is happy in Jail and other is living with sorrow. Does it depend how do you feel within Jail, Happy as Jailor or Sad as Prisoner. Is it a matter of your thinking only?
How do you opine?

This can be interpreted multiple ways. Take a child that experienced psychological parental abuse for example. They can still be happy as pain leaves them to live with a lifestyle that keeps others away from pain now that they have felt it themselves. Other kids however may hold a grudge for feeling confined. I believe that if your a prisoner without being able to choose your own opinion that is a sad life that doesn't shape your character but rather is formed by others thoughts all the time. Self-originality is beneficial.
Independence is beneficial. Don't ruin self-growth. We are all prisoners in that our feelings are what control our actions and thinking process. But the question is are we prisoners that are confined by not controlling our good heart to help others or are we prisoners by living in the past? The emotions that confine my personality make me happy to tell you this.
The worst imprisonment in life is when you only love someone out of fear. That is the saddest prison because love is acceptance of both negative and positive sides. One can not say they love another if they only stick around for happy times and leave during sad times. LOVE IS NEVER FEAR!!!

Probably you are well right in the direction you have been thinking. But my submission was slightly different. I was trying to say that the same place gives you two feelings, Jailor does not get pain whereas the prisoner who also lives in Jail is not able to enjoy and have to live it in sorrows. Is it not because of his past deeds only? Does it not able to conclude that the place is not bad. Jail is not bad to live. Jailor can live there and enjoys his living, whereas the prisoner, due to his confinement, cannot enjoy the environment. One can enjoy any place or feel sorrow about it.
