There’s a lot of „pretend“ in prison (due to the abundance of adult males that suffer from arrested development), people mask themselves with intended hardcore gangster characters because they do not face themselves. They don’t face themselves and don’t look themself in the eyes because they lack self-awareness. Instead of spending their time cultivating self-awareness, they waste their lives working on the mask.
Little do they know that they are divine beings, made in the image of God. Little do they know that life is much more deeper than hating people, wanting „things“, encouraging stuff and harming people. Little do they know, that in wasting life on a mask, one creates the illest KARMAS against oneself.
Prison is a microcosm to the free world macrocosm, and so people out in the free world suffer the same „pretend“ game.
In my conclusion, without self-awareness, we by default live a life wrapped up in our artificial thoughts, imaginary character-like masks, socially induced delusional constructs, and oblivious to the fact that as we live in this matrix, we are manipulated by capitalism, politics, religion, and everyone else who is just as lost.
Cultivate self-awareness and do not let your life be a series of distractions until you expire.
