How an inmate found God and inner peace in prison, and told me about it
Interesting conversation with an inmate. Sprinkled with my opinion.
Looking back in time to one of the craziest jobs I have ever had this past week led me to remember the good. I always like to find the silver lining in anything I have done.
All things come to an end whether we want to think about this. Our life eventually also come to an end.
I wouldn’t say I like to label experience good or bad, just like I do not want to label people or things as good and evil. I do not believe in the idea that good and evil exist, yet it is what it is.
We are here on this earth to have an experience, and when it is time to check out, we move on to another adventure. I have come to these conclusions through experiences and conversations.
Even though my time at the prison was very short-lived, I gained more from it than I realized.
When I chose to leave the institution, I felt that I got what I needed from that experience.
It was eye-opening, especially since I was starting in my career and figuring out “who I want to be when I grow up” I think I am still trying to figure it out, yet that is neither here nor there.
