WHAT DOES "REHABILITATED" MEAN?

Looking back at much of the things that have been posted on this website over the last two years, dating back to the time period when a long term relationship began falling apart. There has certainly been a lot of anger.  I see the words of a man who was in an incredible amount of pain. A man who was looking for a target to blame for that pain. And all I can think of is the scene near the end of The Shawshank Redemption when Red is finally released from prison: "Rehabilitated?.. I don't have any idea what that means...  I know what you think it means... To me it's just a made up word... There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then. A young stupid kid... I wanna talk to him. I wanna try to talk some sense into him. Tell him the way things are. But I can't... I gotta live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word."

"Take A Stand feat. Dave Chappelle" by Goalcast & "Soul for Sale" by Nikola Sarcevic

"I always said I wouldn't be untrue, to anything I put my heart in to" sings Nikola Sarcevic in the song "Soul for Sale" from his 2006 solo album Rock, Roll and Flee. I think that Nikola's song goes well with the short documentary about Dave Chappelle's decision to leave Hollywood and walk away from a 50 million dollar TV contract. "Name your price in the beginning. If it ever gets more expensive than the price you name, get out of there."
