An extract

"Please do not let me stray away from the path I had chosen even though the path is unpredictable and strenuous. Do not let me run back to the path towards the animal kingdom immediately even though it is one of my eventual goals. It's relatively easy to put in effort to help those who had helped you, even if they do push you away but it is tough to reach out a helping hand to those who had once cause you much distress and hurt. However, I owe B many, but B do not want me to repay him. His idea of repaying is to help others. Thanks for reminding me that. Thanks for reminding me why I'm still alive despite my weakened body."--by A

Reflection

Sorry, I can't seem to get the embeded link for this video and if I write the summary out, the impact and various messages would not be captured. It's about the impact of being jailed despite committing no crime and the number of years they have to serve before they are being exonerated, and despite being freed from jail, psychologically, they are still being chained to their past experiences in the jails and their tainted records. Beside the messages which are mentioned in the clips, the following questions ran through my mind: doesn't each one of us have such wounds inflicted upon us in some time within our life span? Even small things like not returning borrowed items from acquaintance. Aren't we similar to these people in these sense? That some of these wounds left permanent scars on our psychological being? How can we avoid such tragedies from happening? Or at least reduce them to the minimal? Just occurred to me that I'm getting more questions but lesser answers...>~<...maybe I'm getting too tired/brain juice can't replenish at the same rate...
