Translated by me , to make it unperfect and human hahah here it goes: Something that we have to really really keep in mind, is that we always will be in a cave, like the Allegory of the Cave. Always it seems that we are not in a cave because we can't see the exit and the external world, and even so, that external world will still be another cave in other topics and so on. Fundamental Principles that we can extract and that few times they taugh us: 1. We have to crush our ego to 0, we have to activelly remind ourselves (actually many times per day on purpose) that we can and we probably are wrong, that we don't know everything and what connects this with the following principle, that there are people that already left the cave trying to bring us with them, showing us the exit. 2. The mission of those who already left the cave should be, work and sacrifice all the necessary to convince, bring out and show the external world, even when the price paid was death like Plato showed us. First because it is the right thing, and second because we have to remember that someone did the same for us before. #philosophy #ikigai #relationships #discipline #purpose #fiat #mindset #beliefs #truth #freedom #thought #plato #awakening
