All of us love freedom and have their own expressions of being free. Each one of us wants to define freedom in the way it suits us.
Some teens may feel that being with friends and peers is freedom, some responsible citizens feel that loving their country and doing something about it is freedom while some think that being in the lap of Mother Nature is freedom. My idea of freedom is being a butterfly.
Nature has bounty of birds and insects that are blessed with qualities that make them unique and abilities & roles that make them an indispensable part of this ecosystem. A butterfly is quite a light flying insect which belongs to the family of moths.

ADVERTISEMENTS:
It gives one immense pleasure to see a gorgeously colored or patterned butterfly appearing or emerging from a tree or a plant full of flowers. Its scenic beauty as well as its ability to extract nectar from the flowers appeals to me a lot. A butterfly is a symbolic of true freedom. For me, a butterfly moves around freely from one plant to another and is never bound by any fences or borders.
Being a butterfly, I wish I could also enjoy all the tastes of nature and also spellbound and bring smile to the faces that would enjoy my flight. Butterfly is one insect which is attractive and harmless. I wish to be one so that my acts would please others and never hurt anyone. Nature is a butterfly’s home and I would love to make it my home too.
If I were a butterfly, I would take the pleasure of sitting on colorful flowers and chosen my way myself. I would not be bound by anyone to enjoy the fruits or flowers of one tree or plant. It would love to see the variety of flora and fauna in the natural world away from the artificial world of bricks and walls created by the humans. I would fly to greater heights and stay in green pastures, which is not possible while living a human life.
A butterfly has not only beautiful wings but also is one of the least harmless creatures. If I were a butterfly, I would love to live a shorter yet meaningful life. I would like to be one of the colorful and vivid creatures giving everyone a pleasant scene and also appreciate the silence that God’s quite creatures live with. As a butterfly, I would spend some of my time trying to be around children who would feel happy and clap their hands looking at my movements.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
I would be free from stress and the burdens of this society and live in a world which does not distinguish between its creatures based on caste, creed, sex, religion etc. There would be no worries and tensions of creating homes and acquiring education, earning our livelihood and saving money for future. A short life would be a blessing and it would make me realize that life is worth living.
