The urgent need to escape from the prison cell-hopping game

Think of an imaginary game called prison cell-hopping. The idea here is simple. You are in any imaginary prison cell. You don’t like it, but after some time you get used to it. Not that you are happy there, but you can tolerate the stay there.

Someone around you teaches a game called prison cell-hopping. It is a lame game, but they make it look like super fun. The rules are simple — you leave your prison cell and move into another prison cell temporarily. When it comes to inconvenience, this prison cell is no different than the previous prison cell, but there is a difference and that is — this prison cell is different. But the “being different” difference won’t cut it for too long.

So, what do you do?

You engage in one more edition of prison cell-hopping.

What happens there?

History repeats. You are happy at the beginning for a short while, get back to the default mode very soon and then what do you do..

Yes, you got it — engage in prison cell-hopping again.

Then, one day it dawns on you that prison cell-hopping is not taking you out of the prison, it is just taking you to another cell in the same prison.

Duh!
