The Meaning of Censorship - Essay Example

The accidental entry of the butterfly into the censored area of the missile base causes undue apprehension in the mind of the missile.      The strong always tries to dominate the weak and never lets an opportunity pass without hurting the sentiments of the less privileged. How can the massive power of a missile be compared to the affectionate movements of the butterfly to visit the flowers for its honey-gathering mission? Nevertheless, the butterfly is severely censured by the missile for its act.

     The rebuke of the missile is too much for the butterfly to bear. It is willing to accept the censure of the missile without malice and carry on with its love-mission of honey-collection. It loves its freedom and the uncensored lifestyle.      The butterfly does not make an issue.  It knows that it is useless to talk to those who do not wish to honor reason; who have no respect for the freedom and dignity of others. It flies out the area to enjoy unrestricted, uncensored freedom.

    Conclusion:      Lack of mutual trust and fear of losing authority and not giving equal respect for the privileges and rights of others gives rise to censorship. In the current example, no damage would have been done by the act of a butterfly landing on the nose of the missile. But missile is the product of the negative thinking of humanity. It can not even accept the symbolic challenge of love and positive qualities.
