Freedom.....a Quintessential desire of life
Have you ever noticed an eagle`s flight?The way it is poised before its flight and then graciously and magnificently with a final swoop is poised and ready to fly.Don`t we all wish,at some point or the other that we could spread our wings like that and just fly without a single care in this world.The eagle,to me is the embodiment of freedom.It is statuesque,possesses an innate grace and fluidity and is sharp and clearly focused on its goal.Its gaze is unwavering and focused and when it sights its prey and pounces on it,you cannot help but admire the bird.....if such a mundane term may be used to describe such a princely creature.
Freedom is but an innate desire that all creatures desire.Birds are the true embodiments of freedom wherein they can spread their wings and take off whenever they wish to,without any restrictions whereas we wish in our heart of hearts that we were free but whenever we want to fly or to experience even an iota of freedom,we realize that our wings are clipped. We are weighed down by the burden of responsibilities.Before accepting any major change in our life,we are forced to consider its repercussions.What does the eagle think,when it swoops to capture its prey?There`s only one thought that is foremost in its mind,capturing and mercilessly devouring its prey.....If only our lives were also like that.....no not capturing and eating others,but focusing on our goal with single minded precision and when it is achieved,then enjoying life...Is it too much to ask for....not uninhibited freedom but freedom from the whimsicality of life to pursue our secret desires?Freedom..........ah!! what a wonderful word!!
