I think it’s innate in everyone to have a desire of being liberated and as for the type or extent of freedom, it varies from person to person, depending on the circumstance one faces.
My sister explained her butterfly tattoo as a “ symbolism of liberation (of her past relationship problems)”. So somehow everyone roughly has a idea of how liberation should be… being free from the duties of a girlfriend, free from financial burden, free from illnesses, free from school, free from being controlled by others, ….. It is like how a butterfly has emerged from a cocoon whenever we think we’ve achieved one of our freedoms.
That is not a wrong analogy. But I think the butterfly continues to meet more challenges and most importantly, is still very vulnerable to attacks from predators. And sadly, it is true for us, human beings too.
