Window...less?

I often wonder how I would survive x amount of time in prison. How could I withstand the pain and torture that comes with the loss of freedom? In my bedroom I keep my window shades shut, merely because I enjoy the privacy. Yet I can still view the world through the slitted cracks, which divulge their secrets in such straight rows. So I am not totally shut out. And at any given time I can open them, or even walk outside (which I do quite often don't let me fool you) to view the world in all its aspects. So without this freedom, this ability in which one can move through the world, how do we react? How would I react? I doubt i'll really know the answer until the time comes "knock on wood". Until then... It's something to think about.
