Are you Happy or Sad while confined?

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!!!
