Stepping out of Plato´s Cave by Ran Lahav
Plato’s allegory of the cave touches us because it reminds us of our heart’s yearning to expand our lives and live more deeply and fully. Our everyday world is usually limited to a “cave”—a superficial, comfortable routine. We go through our daily activity as if we were on automatic pilot. It is only in special moments of self-reflection that we realize how constricted our daily moments are, and then we feel the yearning to break away from these prison walls and live a bigger, richer, freer life.
