You felt sorry for the poor souls who could look out their windows and see something other than the back side of a wall?  Huh.

People in prisons live behind bars and high walls.

"People in prisons live behind bars and high walls."

So do people all over the world, many in countries where it has been the culture and tradition for thousands of years. Obviously you have never seen behind the walls where a beautiful, quiet oasis affords peace and tranquility is a noisy area. People who live differently from you are not necessarily wrong or deluded.

That is right I felt sorry for people with not garden behind high walls. My grand parents had walls around their property and we had privacy which is wonderful.

You cannot walk out of jail but you can from a wall surrounded garden or from a house with bars on the windows or shutters.
Here we have a wall around the house and windows with bars and I love it, I am home.
Laddy Otter gets it , you can enter your private oasis when you have a wall and forget the street and that is the way I like it. The jail part is all on your mind.

Heaven, so I am told has, pearly gates and I imagine a wall as well.
Hell....free to roam...pick your own shovel, coal pile, and furnace.
Hope I'm in the "good book"....and if I'm not....what the hell.
