Freedom to be.... by Kalai Selvi Arivalagan (book series for 10 year olds .txt) 📖

Significance of Independence

Look at the birds that flap their wings high in the sky glittering in the morning sun light!   It is that freedom every man wants to enjoy in this worldly life. Freedom to thoughts, expressions and the ways of lives may make men feel fulfilled before leaving this earth. We all know this. Yet, are we ready to respect the other person as we respect our wishes. 

 

Today in this materialistic world every man and woman has become a self-oriented junk of life that can be disposed at death. Once the spark of life leaves a human body, we are at nature’s stake. Only our good deeds can come with us if we wish to have a decent burial.   As responsible adults, we must teach our children not to step on the freedom of others and understand the value of boundaries and limits. Though countries may be split by unseen boundaries, it is the freedom of air that binds every limit to an unseen oneness. Learn to realize this. Then, the world will become a better place to life for every one of us.

 

Breathe in the freshness of freedom in your mother country!!! Once you step outside the boundary of your mother country, do you feel the air smells the same as you have felt in your mother land? Definitely it may not be so. Yet, you are there for your livelihood and so get adapted to the place where you work. For people who enjoy the bliss of freedom every day may not understand the importance of freedom and how it plays a major role in shaping a human personality.

 

In our home, we expect to live a life as we wish. We always expect the near and dear ones to allow the space that will make our life happy and comfortable. Think about the endangered lives of sparrows. Earlier our homes provided the space they needed to build their nests. The sophisticated, luxurious buildings of today have no place for sparrows; they deprive the need to be a part of the nature. That may be one of the reasons why more death occurs during an earthquake because of destruction of buildings. Nature is always compassionate. She always provides the chance to survive in spite of difficulties. It is man who spoils everything with his greediness. Let us all take a vow to change ourselves and be compassionate once again. Then only nature will also be compassionate towards us.

Link with Nature

Will you like to slip into moments of trance when the evening breeze carries along with it, the fresh fragrance of evening flowers that start to unfurl gloriously. In spite of the richly clad dress, perfumed with the latest one from the mall, nature always wins the show. Nothing can compensate those moments what the fragrance of flowers brings into your soul.  

The world is shrinking at a higher rate bringing along with it all kinds of destruction and chaos. In the whiff of seconds, when the clock ticks to another new day, it becomes our duty that we leave a better world for our children to live.

Every action has an reaction. True to this saying, modern man is paying for his action. Technology has made our lives easy and cozy. Yet, we forget, there is a price we need to pay for it. Stealthily, and unannounced, health related issues have entered our lives. To come out of that, we need to turn once again to nature. We must remember to respect nature. Not only in our thoughts, but also in our actions. Science has given  man the ability to reach stars that stared as blinking wonders. Even if you fly in a space craft to reach another planet to make a living, we can’t deny that our life must be stable and happy with pure water, air, and food.

Miracles in Life

 Do you believe in miracles? Probably, I believe in miracles. The sudden turn of events that bring much more fun and happiness in life is now a miracle. A normal, routine day may turn boisterous if moments are blessed. Now, in today’s world, if you can get pure water to drink, fresh air to breathe, healthy food to eat and a comfortable place to sleep - that can be a miracle.

Man has become a slave to the expanding technology power. Every day, a tool is brought into use that can make our lives easy. Even without lifting a finger, you are made to do wonders with the latest technology. Though you can directly pour your liquid food into your food pipe, stomach must start processing the food to generate energy. Unless, the natural process of digestion happens, you cannot brim with energy. Liquid food transferred through blood may help you sustain life and live in this world. Yet, solid food is necessary to make your bones and muscles strong with the strength to walk, run, and jump.

Eating healthy food every day may become a miracle one day. We are now so much addicted to processed food that makes us lazy to cook. We should not wait until a moment comes for us to realize the importance of healthy, natural food in our diet. To remain healthy, we must eat food cooked and prepared in a healthy way with ingredients that will help our body to be healthy and sound.   

Breathe my freedom!!

 

Drops of water whisk in the air
    Wisping vapour spreads further

Glistening dew drops on leafy blades

roll down all their way

reflecting colours of a sunny day!

Shh.Shh., a cloud burst breaks in

bringing down copious vapour

briskly stored frozen

inside fluffy, whiter clouds!

Gloomy the day evolves

chasing everyone to safety....

When human minds turn a foe

exploiting nature to an extreme -

a concerned Mother takes her whip

to lash for better gains....
    tear-filled eyes gaze at her...

bringing everyone to-gether

within invisible warm embrace...

running along with picky steps

will she once again allow

to breathe with ease -

the freedom to live or leave...
