I needed to read this today. Thank you for sharing. I don't know if you have seen the movie, "Chicken Run," but it reminds me of a great quote from the film. The leader of the chickens, who has been endlessly trying to create a successful escape plan from the horrible farm, tells the other chickens, "You know what the problem is? The fences aren't just round the farm. They're up here, in your heads. There's a better place out there, somewhere beyond that hill..."

This young man eerily resembles Ben. I think he’s one of the ones who has said f*** the cage! Nice piece. Thank you for my 3am musing!

Yes, that would be Ben. Still tell students that story! Thanks for reading and subscribing. Hope you're recuperating well.
