Reflecting on Ascending from the Cave

Dear reader, (that happens to be you)

    Cave like situations happen many times during relationships with people. Say you have a friend dating someone. Your friend believes this person to be a good, kind person. If you see this person drop kicking baby seals and then try to tell your friend about it, they most likely won't believe you. This is similar to the cave talked about by Socrates. Your friend would be the person chained in the cave. The cave itself would be their trust and belief in their partner. Seeing what was being done to the poor baby seals would allow you to ascend. Secondly, by researching and experiencing the place I have chosen to focus on this summer I can learn more about the fraternity I want to join. From that I can ascend to the same level of love for Triangle the current members all seem to share.

Sincerely,
    Joshua Frasure
