Freedom is very important to us. Luxury,
affluence, picture perfect life, served to us
without freedom is meaningless.

• Let me share a short story which talks about the
  importance of freedom

• Once there lived a beautiful princess. She was
  very fond of birds, every morning a little bird
  used to come to her palace and sing for her. The
  princess was very happy to see the lovely bird
  and listen to its music. The bird visited the
  palace daily and the princess waited eagerly for
  its visit every day. She was almost in love with
  the bird. She wished that the bird should keep
  company with her all the day.

• One day the princess put the bird in a golden
  cage and served it the best type of food. But the
  bird felt sad. It did not sing and eat anything.
  In spite of the best food the bird began to grow
  weak day by day. It did not sing as before. One
  day the princess asked the bird the reason for
  all this. The bird said, I want to be set free.
• The kind princess set the bird free. The bird
  flew happily to its freedom. The next morning the
  bird was back again with its usual song. The
  story tells us that even the birds do not want to
  live in captivity, however well they are fed.
  This shows us the importance of freedom.

• But freedom is not absolute. There are certain
  limitations to it. We can enjoy our freedom only
  if it does not infringe upon the rights and
  freedom of others. For example, freedom to live
  and settle anywhere in India does not allow us to
  build our houses on roads.
• Freedom allows us to develop, grow, and improve
  to the fullest extent. The limitations are a
  necessary safeguard for us to enjoy freedom and
  allow others to enjoy as well. Unlimited freedom
  is dangerous. It will bring confusion and ruin
  our freedom.

• Freedom is the most valuable gift. Without it
  whatever we do has no meaning. Let us enjoy our
  freedom.
