In German we have the expression to put someone behind bars - in other words, to imprison someone. The image used expresses the fact that there is something between freedom and the actual state, namely the bars, and that this is what is standing in the way of the person in question or has taken away their freedom. A bar - one might think - is nothing big. Not a strong wall or the thick walls of a dungeon. It sounds like you are still free, you have a clear view, fresh air, etc. However, there is something that restricts your freedom of movement. Sometimes it doesn't take much in life to cost us our freedom. Silly habits, wrong words, dishonesty or constraints and patterns. The apostle Paul once wrote in one of his letters to the Christians in Galatia that they were called to freedom. That is, in front of bars, not behind them. Unfortunately, we are often too comfortable behind bars. What do you think about that?
I wish you an extraordinary day!
