A Lonely Cage

There is no occupant in the cage. However, if there is an occupant, it would be a sad & lonely one that lost its freedom. Many of us are probably with the same fate, although not living in a cage, but we are tied with career and business. There isn't much time many of us could spend for the life we want to live; for the world we want to see; for the joy we want to experience & for the people we want to love. Thirty six years is probably half way in the journey of life. Would the rest of the days staying in the cage or off the cage?
