Bird quotes
"Happiness is like a Butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you. But if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder." By Henry David Thoreau. Yes true, if you try to get something furiously, take all steps to get that thing, you may not get it. You may waste all your resources and nothing will happen. On the other hand, if you behave casually and simply remain idle, that thing will come to your hand automatically. In this quote, it is butterflies, butterflies also like freedom. Why should we have to catch it? It is afraid of people. If it likes us, it will come and sit on our shoulder. But we can see and enjoy the butterfly from a distance without disturbing its freedom. We cannot force certain things to behave as per our wish. "Freedom is fun." "Desire is delight." Here, this quote author is trying to mean "One cannot get or achieve anything by force or by inflicting fear into others."
