All being are born to be free just like birds and fishes. Once captures and looses it freedom they will not be able to survive being in the captive environment. Just like a prisoner - don't you think he like to have his freedom? Human are highly intelligence creature and even strive for freedom as it is important.

In this modern society, all of us seeking for materialistic mean but are we really happy and in fact we felt more tripped in our environment as ever. In our life journey had we done things in the way we desire and do we dare to do things that seem impossible to achieve? We envy the birds and the fishes that fly and swim without restriction.
