A Platonic view

Sometimes a projection of our thoughts and behavior with each other can tell us much more about our inner compared to our reality. Is reality nothing more than what we gain, see and wish to accomplish by fact and actions? I don’t think so. It is often ‘true’ that what we experience in real terms is translated by ourselves as a projection of what we believe is ‘true’.

Many of us were bored with Plato’s ‘cave story’, the allegory of the cave, during our school education. Well, after all those years of experience and knowledge in my daily dealings with people and things, this beautiful story gains meaning not through cognition or reason, but in practice through interaction with each other and discovering who we can really be for each other. A willingness to listen with less judgment is the first step in experiencing this story in all its beauty.
