Then Belmont discovered the carnival world of Louisiana politics, in the way a mental patient might wander into a theme park for the insane and realize that life held more promise than he had ever dreamed.Burke, James Lee. Purple Cane Road {Dave Robicheaux Book 11}
Belmont's introduction to Louisiana politics was like a surprising journey for someone who has been isolated from joy. He likened it to a mental patient discovering a chaotic yet enthralling theme park, realizing that life had so much more to offer than he had previously believed.
This experience opened his eyes to the vibrant, albeit unpredictable, world around him. The carnival atmosphere of politics contrasted starkly with his past, suggesting that there are always new possibilities waiting to be explored, regardless of one's previous circumstances.
