Life In A Box Pt.2

I was reading something of Blake's and thought it fit so well what I just said in "Life In A Box".

Blake said:

"To borrow an illustration from Plato, perhaps we're cavemen, sitting in a cave, watching shadows on the wall of the cave created by our fire. We have never done anything but watch the shadows on the wall. Well, there's a whole world outside the cave that we don't even know exists, but in our minds, all the truth in the world is contained in the shadows on the wall, and we pronounce our understanding of the world as more or less complete. But if we were to leave the cave, we would learn that there is so much more to the world, and our past understanding of "truth" is therefore deemed incomplete, to say the least. We may have been more comfortable looking at the shadows, life in the cave may have been simpler, but to retreat to the cave just to have that simplicity is, well, foolish and dishonest. We always need to be aware that the things we consider "simple" may turn out to be a great deal more complex, seen from another point of view. Simplicity is not, and should not ever be, a goal in and of itself in interpretation. Simplicity for simplicity's sake more or less guarantees rather ridiculous conclusions, especially in biblical interpretation. "

Good stuff here! And I feel is a nice side to what I shared as well. :)

Blessings!
