Free willy, down the drain

Beautiful! what can i say

Thank you for your reply "kreep." Thank you for calling the article beautiful. I really appreciate it. However, I'd appreciate your reply to a greater extent if you could comment on the content of the article and how it relates to you. honestabdul@hotmail.com

Who did I grow up to be?.... Thank you for making me think about this. Yes, I am scared. I feel I am not in control. But no one is perfect. So, no one is in control. This is a great article. Made me think!

To begin with, my name is willy. I was very happy before I read this article. I thought I had grown up to be someone. But then I realized that whatever I become, I will never get complete control of my own life... thanks to your wonderful article. It is a wonderful piece of literature.

Good Writing Style. Good Point. Good Article.

Thank you franky four finger... cool name... alliteration at its best!!! Well, I wish more people read this article. I feel that everyone who's growing up to be another blind human being should get a warning by reading this article. The only way to be Not Blind is to open your eyes before the world closes them. Blinded by the dark by franky four fingers on July 16, 2001 (Monday) Your article is enlightening. However, the world is too dark. Hence, I stay blinded. I try. I fail.

Sorry for sounding pessimistic, Hemant, but the world closes a child's eyes LONG before he/she can grow up enough to read and understand this article of yours! So, however true your point may be, it will be too late for anyone who tries to change himself/herself after reading this!! No taking away the fact that the article is thought-provoking.... Cheers.

I don't know what kept me. Maybe I was crying too often. But I am still a baby that wants the toy in my hand.

amazing.. a brilliant writing style.

Thank you Ishita. More articles under authorname: bullet

Hi, Just read your article "Free Willy Down the Drain". I would like to confirm with you what you meant by it just to make sure that I got the article correctly. Please bear with me. I think that you meant that life hasn't changed much. Everybody does similar things, they go through similar experiences and grow up to be similar people. Individuality is nowhere to be seen (am just exaggerating to make the point clearer) and people have no control over their lives. They just do what they are told to do .. they just go after things that they are told by the "society" they should go after. Is that what you meant? Do let me know. Thanks, Anonymous

Dear Anonymous, while it is real that life is unpredictable and therefore, uncontrollable, and it is also true that many of us are similar in similar contexts, the article itself was targeted towards the theme of "loss of innocence." When I think of Free Willy... I think of baby face Willy, the 2 month old, and his father looking into his eyes and telling him that no harm would ever come his way. The father makes sure that Free Willy lives a happy life and a comfortable life and gives Free Willy directions on how to achieve that goal... in case of the audience of this website: by studying computer science only, or Biology only etc. In this process, Free Willy is no longer Free... he's just Willy... any guy down the "street." He might be comfortable, maybe even rich, but is he Happy? Did he lose his innocence? Did he find peace within? Does he miss being on his blue bicycle when he was 10 years old and dreamed of becoming Superman (Dear Anonymous, while it is real that life is unpredictable and therefore, uncontrollable, and it is also true that many of us are similar in similar contexts, the article itself was targeted towards the theme of "loss of innocence."
