Stand Ready to Assist the People Who Are Heading Toward the Light
It is fruitless to go into the darkness of the cave and try to awaken those whose eyes have become accustomed to the bleakness.
Whether it’s by design or by choice, they sit in darkness and make no motion to change their circumstances, but instead, debate the intensity of their situation and complain about a lack of solutions.
Stay at the mouth of the cave.
Light a candle
Don’t allow yourself to go inside because your opportunities to assist will not be enhanced, but your single candle will have less and less effect.
There are people who will be heading toward the slightest glimmer of light.
These are the ones you’ll be able to help.
These are the ones who will welcome your flame.
These are the ones who will not mock your ideas of light as they continue to complain about their options.
Living with poor people may seem to be a noble act, but until those in poverty make their own move toward solvency, there’s little you can do for them.
Preaching equality in a land of prejudice may garner you eternal reward but will squander your time on Earth because no one is listening–because the lights are off.
Don’t go out and sunbathe
Don’t go out and talk to those around you who are surrounded by light about how beautiful the light is or how damned the people are in the cave.
Build your art, your life, your mission, your concern and your love at the mouth of the cave.
Light a candle and wait for those who have the bravery to escape the utter darkness.
