poster child for happiness
only a week to go in this voluntary confinement of mine, and my zen remains intact, thank god. the same can't be said for most of the others, though, especially the guys- written warnings are being given out left and right as tempers flare over the smallest thing. everyone skittish and bouncing off the walls, muscles taut and primed for a fight.
someone's decision yesterday to cue a church program on the big screen tv sparked a debate- immediate, loud and impassioned- among all those gathered in the room, and there's a reason behind the adage that you don't discuss religion or politics. eventually a nurse had to intervene, all "shh" and "it's okay" and "a difference of opinion is perfectly normal", which didn't make sense, like he was soothing a teenager after his first wet dream and not stamping out the beginnings of a holy war.
