"We are captives of our own identities living in prisons of our own creation" - T-Bag (Prison Break)
I find this statement to be very ambiguous as everyone would have their own perception of what T-Bag is trying to say. I believe that here he is referring to the invisible boxes that we humans live in on a daily bases. We try to captivate ourselves by telling ourself that this is who we are. We prevent ourselves from taking on new adventures due to the fear of being hurt. This inspired me to step outside of my comfort zone and to make myself always willing to undertake new ventures. Secondly I think what T-Bag was trying to say was that we tend to live in the past - surrounded by all the mistakes we have made rather than thinking of ways in which we can change and become a better 'us'. Many of us would disagree with and I don't blame you, because even I didn't think I lived in the past - that is until I had time to reflect on who I am today. One thing that I believe everyone gets from this quote is a sense of self guilt that we are the reason why we are unhappy today. However, I like to think of the glass as half full so I think it is important for everyone to live in the presence and hope the best for the future.
