While painting all of these locks...this question came to me.
Is it better to be locked in or locked out?
On the one hand being "locked in" indicates some level of security...safety from the outside world. On the other hand being "locked out" implies expulsion...removal from the inner world. Either can denote danger. Locked in against your will...locked out as punishment or retribution.
In everyday life we use locks to serve two purposes...to safeguard our possessions inside and to ensure that potential thieves or predators are kept out.
Locks also provide an emotional roadblock...keeping your feelings safely locked inside and ensuring that psychological harm is locked out.
