A beautiful Bird: Caught in Cage

Today, I saw a very beautiful bird, so colorful, so pleasing, but in a Cage. :( People who buy these caged birds, feel that, they love these birds. They think that by feeding, caring and protecting it they are showering it with love. They feel happy that they are doing good.

But, nobody seems to care about the bird. It is in a CAGE. All the care and supposed love of the people, must be suffocating for the little bird. It will always want to fly up in the air. But Alas, it cant because someone loves it. :(

This just got me thinking. Love is supposed to be beautiful but we may mistake some feelings to be love. It can be as good as a mirage.

Your Love should not be a cage for the bird, taking away all the freedom it has. If it does, then it is not love. It just cant be.

If you care for it, let it free so that it can enjoy those blue skies, those cool trees, in essence its own life. If you love it truely, let the bird Soar up high into the blue sky. You too fly with it on those unknown skies, shoulder all the responsibilities, to protect it, to feed it, to nurture it, to just love it. Just imagine how beautiful it can be!

In human context, isn't it the way it works. You are you, she is she but when you are together a resonance happens and it all is so beautiful thereafter. Why not do the same with the poor bird?
