At A Crossroads…

A friend posed a comment this week and I’m having a hard time digesting it. They basically said they were at a 4-way crossroads: life, death, jail or freedom.
I look at that statement and I see only 3 options.
LIFE is self-explanatory. Life is LIVE and with it comes with all the essential flavors of our being… the glory and exuberance, the pain and heartbreak. We deal with it. We embrace it. We strive. We excell. We survive.
Now, looking at the alternatives…
DEATH. It’s a quick fix and an easy cop-out, but perhaps a form of freedom none the less.
JAIL is a semblance of death with less freedom. I look at it more like living in limbo or purgatory… it’s neither here nor there. I can’t help but think if you stay there long enough you may very well opt for Door #2.
FREEDOM. This is where I got stuck. My mind drew a blank. I could not understand where this fit into the picture as a separate option. So, tell me… as much as I like to keep an open mind, am I missing something?
