Desired or cherished?

There once lived a man who loved to travel. 

One day he visited a forest and saw a group of peacocks dancing.

He fell in love with the dance of one particular peacock.

The man kept visiting the forest regularly just to get a glimpse of that peacock. 

One day the peacock noticed the man and the curiosity and the awe in his eyes. The peacock got a new excitement and he danced with even more zest and energy. 

The man kept visiting the forest and the peacock kept dancing more and more beautifully when the man visited.

One day the man thought enough is enough, I need to own this peacock and look at its dance everyday. So he grabbed the peacock, took him home and put him in his backyard.

The peacock stopped dancing, his group of friends in the forest stopped dancing and the man became depressed.

There is a difference between being desired and being cherished….
