Most of the cages we build for ourselves are in our minds.

@Jackaloftheazuresand
Houses are not cages so much as places of refuge we can flee to in order to hide from the world while pretending to be a part of it.

@Jackaloftheazuresand Built to keep others out, and can end up keeping us in.

@Miram I have the animation of a squirrelly being carving out stone and then slamming a boulder in front after he eyes the perimeter. Then he rubs his hands together in a dark corner while snickering.

@Jackaloftheazuresand That's me 😱

I think that's everyone. We never know the kind of traps we're setting ourselves for.
