prisonbreak.

how it tells me that life is about the people around you. how easily its affected by one another, how your path can be changed just because of someone else along the way.

throughout the whole season, admist the actions, the anticipation and the wow factor, it got me thinking. put yourself in the shoes of lincoln burrows, a prisoner who's to face capital punishment, on the electric chair. even if he's really at fault, to know your mistakes and to wait everyday until your death row, its seriously unimaginable. it is quite inhumane to let someone die, is it even more inhumane to let a person wait knowingly for his death. and to sit down on the chair and not resist the punishment. the person waiting, is he even a person after knowing his deathday. what if he's innocent, and no one ever knows except himself. its a trillion times worse. a stab in the back over and over again.

then there was michael scofield, the love of two brothers was portrayed damn well. guys never did know how to show love directly, and it was shown rather really. though, its fictatious and ambiguous, to go into jail and be so intelligent enough to come up with a plan so abstract. and to risk his whole life for someone else. his facial expression is always solemn and deep in thought, the stress of knowing a loved one is going too. and it boils down to the fragility of human life again. its not only lincoln who knows his death, but the impact he had on the loved ones. kudos to their actings, they were very good.

then there was this episode where the pasts of all the main characters were shown. most of them went into prison because they loved someone. because of someone so special. if there was no one else meaningful in the world, i am sure no one will be in prison. there just wasnt a need to.

and they all decided strongly for escape because once again, of their loved ones. maybe in reality, this belongs to the minority, but its still true that sometimes love means everything in the world. when you really live the fullest because of someone else.

i thought to myself, what if the prisoners who are sentenced to capital punishment was killed without knowing it. wouldnt it be better off for the prisoners, saving them the waiting period which is much worse than death? will the purpose be gone? the purpose of wanting the prisoners to know they are to die? or is the purpose just to rid the world off these prisoners for the safety of the country?

it was a good show, because it addressed many aspects of life, especially love. there's courage, selflessness, strategy, full of actions and twist. but they all still boils down to that one word.

thank you jon for lending me after i asked so many times. :) its worth it.
