Growth needs freedom; and in the past,
all the cultures have forgotten that without freedom, love
dies. You see a bird on
the wing in the sun, in the sky, and it looks so beautiful.
Attracted by its beauty, you can catch the bird and put it in a
golden cage. Do you think it is the same bird?
Superficially, yes, it is the same bird who was flying in the sky;
but deep down it is not the same bird -- because where is its sky,
where is its freedom?
This golden cage may be valuable to you; it is not valuable to the
bird. For the bird, to be free in the sky is the only valuable
thing in life. And the same is true about human
beings.
