I've gotten to know a man who is currently serving four consecutive life sentences, but is trying to change... He recently said they wanted to transfer him. He said they needed to biopsy his liver which might be diseased. I asked when he was leaving. He looked surprised and said: "Now why would I let a doctor do anything that's going to extend my time on the chain-gang?" It gave me perspective about my "problems."
Catch it, come alive, pass it on.
