172 Sky or Steel?

Two people in jail.

One says “Just look at that sky.”

The other says “Why bother. We’re in jail. Can’t you see the steel bars?”

“Oh, I see them alright.

But if all I do is look at the steel bars then I have no reason to get out of here.

When I focus on the sky, I constantly remind myself there is a sky beyond those bars.

This focus gives me the reason & energy to get out of where I am.”

Sound too simple?
