Please keep your head up. While the system does have its flaws, those who learn how to live within the system are much more likely to escape from both the physical and mental prison that surrounds them. It is in your mind only that you can be a prisoner.
"A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that's unlocked and opens inwards; as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push." - Ludwig Wittgenstein
Do not fight against your current situation. The more you push and struggle against the forces that contain you, the longer you will remain imprisoned.
Open your heart, pull from your experiences behind bars, and let your mind be free. Peace only comes once you've found peace within yourself. Never stop writing. Someone is listening.
It's admirable that you have been able to find a productive and useful way to keep your mind occupied, which is no small feat when everyday is almost exactly the same as the last. In looking through your blog, your artwork is beautiful so please continue to share! My best to you. -Melanie
Hi! I transcribed your post and really liked what you wrote! I completely agree that our health care system is corrupt and unfair- it sounds way worse for you with Corizon. I had no idea that Rick Scott was involved in medicare fraud, that's so infuriating. I hope you get your wheelchair back.
"There is a Scale of Responsibility between Full Responsibility and Full Other- Responsibility (“Someone else” is responsible)… Complete negation of responsibility is complete admission of being under the complete control of the environment. Assumption of Full Responsibility is a statement of control of the environment and persons within it without necessity of control.
There is a cycle of responsibility. One acts and seeks to negate his responsibility for such action by placing the "reason" at another s door. This works so long as one succeeds in making another accept responsibility for the action. The moment this action fails and another does not accept it, the entire action comes back at one. It is then a matter of fault and fixed (by another) blame and stirs the emotion of "guilt." Before this cycle begins, there is no aberration (A word which means “a departure from rational thought or behavior”), no matter what has been done, no matter what has happened to anyone. The action occurs, but is no cause for discussion or justice until one seeks to shunt cause elsewhere than self. This starts the cycle and eventually comes back as "fault." Full Responsibility is not fault, it is recognition of being cause .
RATIONALIZATION is wholly an attempt to shunt responsibility . Whatever occurs to one, wherever on whatever track, is actually on his own responsibility . . . The highest common denominator so far reached on occlusion (Occlusion in the mind of what has happened) is the responsibility factor. One is occluded on whatever he has tried not to be responsible for. He refuses responsibility for the incident, thus he has no control or responsibility for the facsimile of the incident. One can control nothing without assuming Full Responsibility for it.

"There is a Scale of Responsibility between Full Responsibility
and Full Other- Responsibility (“Someone else” is responsible)…
Complete negation of responsibility is
complete admission of being under the complete control of the
environment. Assumption of Full Responsibility is a statement of
control of the environment and persons within it without necessity
of control.
There is a cycle of responsibility. One acts and seeks to
negate his responsibility for such action by placing the "reason"
at another s door. This works so long as one succeeds in making
another accept responsibility for the action. The moment this
action fails and another does not accept it, the entire action
comes back at one. It is then a matter of fault and fixed (by
another) blame and stirs the emotion of "guilt." Before this cycle
begins, there is no aberration (A word which means “a departure
from rational thought or behavior”), no matter what has been done, no
matter what has happened to anyone. The action occurs, but is no
cause for discussion or justice until one seeks to shunt cause
elsewhere than self. This starts the cycle and eventually comes
back as "fault." Full Responsibility is not fault, it is
recognition of being cause .
RATIONALIZATION is wholly an attempt to shunt responsibility .
Whatever occurs to one, wherever on whatever track, is actually on
his own responsibility . . .
The highest common denominator so far reached on occlusion (Occlusion in the mind
of what has happened) is
the responsibility factor. One is occluded on whatever he has tried
not to be responsible for. He refuses responsibility for the
