"Falling" in love is one of the most cherished events in the life of a human being. It adds excitement. It revitalizes even the most depressed souls.

Sadly, it is often not "in love" that people fall into. People, more than less, fall into an emotional cage. This cage is nearly invisible in the beginning because it looks like a beautiful home furnished with everything you could possibly need. What you don't see, however, is the locks on all of the doors. You don't see that the windows are covered and there is often a guard standing by, making sure you don't find a peek to the outside world.

Most disturbing of all is that we often, too often, grow attached to this cage and its amenities. We grow attached because of all that the house seems to give us (at first), but then become afraid to break free because we fear the outside world. It has been so long since you've seen the light of the sun. And what if, just what if, you don't find another house that will provide as much comfort for you. The previous home might have been prison, but it was a home nonetheless. It's what you know. It's what you are used to. If you leave now, you'll be all alone. You'll be subject to fear, loneliness and depression.

How are you supposed to break free?
