Creativity can help one let go a lot of what disrupts his/her peace of mind. Also, creativity has the potential to introduce someone to appreciation. Appreciation is important in the lives of these inmates, because they are already seen as an outcast in the society. We say we can't generalise things same goes for prisoners, there are a lot of people inside prison who weren't in the wrong, there are some who committed the crime and repent and then there are some who committed the offence but don't regret doing so, in fact there are a lot of people who did wrong and were never convicted. It's a hope to any inmate who thinks his/her past makes him/her unworthy of appreciation and just a subject of criticism. It's high time we break these generalisations that persistently prevail. If someone is willing to change we ought to make it easier for them, that's what Tinka Tinka Foundation aims for and that's what they are efficiently pursuing. #vartikananda #tinkatinka #prison #jail
