Seagull..

"But far from there, somewhere high above the ship and the shore, Seagull Jonathan Livingston practiced in solitude. At a height of about thirty meters, he stretched out his floating legs between his fingers, raised his beak, and endeavored to keep himself on his wings during the painfully difficult time. He had to slow down in the curve so that the ocean completely subsided beneath him and the wind seemed to whisper in his face. He almost squinted with intense focus, held his breath, gave his best to push ... more .. . at least ... a couple ... inches ... curves ... Then his feathers blew up, he suddenly slowed down and collapsed. "...

...Seagulls, as you know, never hesitate, never lose control. Losing control for them is a shame and tantamount to a loss of honor. "
.....
"But Jonathan Livingston's Seagull - who was not ashamed to spread his wings again in that trembling hard turn and slow down, slow down and finally once again perish - was no ordinary bird."...

...Most seagulls never try to learn anything more than the simplest flight rules - how to get food and back from shore. Most seagulls are important about nutrition, not flying. But to this seagull, flying was more important than food. More than anything else, Seagull Jonathan Livingston loved to fly...

.. one day, Seagull Jonathan, you will learn that irresponsibility does not pay off. Life is uncertain and impossible to know, and we exist in this world only to eat and survive as long as we can. ""
.......
"The seagull never answers before the Choir, but Jonathan raises his voice." Irresponsibility? My brothers! "He exclaimed." Is there anyone more responsible than a seagull who finds a higher meaning in life and lives in harmony with it? We have lived for thousands of years just to fight and beat around the fish heads, but now we know why we are here - to study, to learn, to be free! Give me a chance and I'll show you what I discovered ... "

.."Everything he once wanted for a flock,he accomplished for himself; he learned to fly and did not grieve for the price he had to pay for it. Jonathan Seagull has discovered that boredom and fear and anger are the reasons why seagulls live so short, and since he got rid of them, he has lived a really long life. ".... Richard Bach
...In each of us is Jonathan Livingston's seagull ... whether fear or freedom will win .... it just depends on our will ...
