Imprisonment

Charles Dickens wrote about a prisoner who stayed for many years in a dungeon. After
serving his sentence, he got his freedom. He was brought out from his cell into the bright
daylight of the open world. This man looked all around and after a few moments was so
uncomfortable with his newly acquired freedom that he asked to be brought back to his
cell into confinement. To him, the dungeon, the chains and the darkness were more
secure and comfortable than accepting the change of freedom and the open world.
