Be (like) a bird in a gilded cage phrase simile
To have an affluent and luxurious life but not truly feel happy or free.
Doing this job makes me feel like a bird in a gilded cage. Despite a decent wage, I regularly feel stressed and unhappy.
I would prefer to do a job offering me not much money but make me feel content rather than take the one causing me to feel like a bird in a gilded cage.
This phrase probably originated from an old American popular song, “Bird in a Gilded Cage.”
Do you see anything wrong?
People tend to like forbidden or illegal things just because they are forbidden or illegal.
He must have believed that stolen fruit is the sweetest, and he, therefore, cheated on his partner.
