The sparrow was purely enjoying its flight in the vast sky. To that minute body, it was as though it was a swift eagle soaring in the air, tearing the clouds apart. Freedom was what the sparrow had at that moment. Freedom gave it the legitimacy to do what it want; create whatever crazy patterns it wanted. Freedom was almost everything to the little sparrow.




Just before the little bird could settle down to find its life, the bits and pieces of bread that were scattered about caught its attention. Unknowing of the danger ahead, the harmless creature landed on the ground and started pecking. Little did it knew that its most precious belonging was being jeopardised.





Next thing that happened was almost predictable; it was surrounded by many of its own kind. Simply, it had been trapped in a cage. It was lost at first. Tried to escape, but to no avail.





Too bad, the bird picked this way itself. It chose to take the advantages that were presented upfront, so it could only accept whatever consequences that would come along with it as well.





Right from the beginning, the sparrow never did lose its most precious belonging; its freedom. What the little one lost was its adaptability; the ability to accept the way of life.





If the sparrow couldn't accept the fact, it would just be a pathetic soul, stuck in the midst of hell, squeezing with the others, fighting against each other to survive. Seriously, it's pathetic.





Unless the sparrow is open-minded and decides to embrace the fact, it will never be rid of this shadow. Nobody said the cage can't be as big as the sky.





If you are unhappy with your life right now, being grumpy and procrastinating will bring you nowhere. Don't expect the situation to change for you, because it might never will. Hah. Be like the sparrow, change your mindset and see things in a different light. Or live in agony then.





You'll be happier this way, even if you are a trapped sparrow. Take your time to adapt, no hurry. Think slowly, what you really deserve. The definition of freedom is up to each and everyone of us to decide.





No situation can ever change, the only thing that can is our mindset.





I don't mind being trapped in that really huge cage though. (:
