‘Richard Bach with this book
does two things.
He gives me Flight.
He makes me Young.
For both I am deeply grateful.’
RAY BRADBURY
About:
(a) Boredom and fear and anger are the reasons that one’s life is so short.
(b) We choose our next world through what we learn in this one. Learn nothing, and the next world is the same as this one, all the same limitations and lead weights to overcome.
(c) Heaven- A place where there is as much to learn as there was in the previous life . But with a difference. Here are beings who think as one thinks. For each of them, the most important thing in living is to reach out and touch perfection in that which they most love to do.
(d) “We’re not ready!” said Henry Calvin Gull. “We’re not welcome! We’re Outcast! We can’t force ourselves to go where we’re not welcome, can we?” “We’re free to go where we wish and to be what we are,”Jonathan answered.

Favorite part of the story:
Gradually, in the night, another circle formed around
the circle of students — a circle of curious gulls listening in the
darkness for hours on end, not wishing to see or be seen of
one another, fading away before daybreak
Summary:
A short story about breaking away norms and customs that stop you from learning and achieving your ambitions.
Seagulls, as you know, never falter, never stall. To stall in the air is for them disgrace and it is dishonour. But Jonathan Livingston Seagull, unashamed, stretching his wings again in that trembling hard curve – slowing, slowing, and stalling once more – was no ordinary bird.
