And I'm frightened many won't believe us even if it is true. We were, short years ago, looking at shadows on the wall of the cave. Many of us ready for the change had turned around in the past to see the fire casting those shadows, but turned back to the wall of the cave, and the shadows, because the fire hurt our eyes.
Trump dragged us into the sun, and forced us to stay there, as painful as it was, until our eyes adjusted. The unfortunate truth is that, if this is the end of our time in the sun, our eyes have finished adjusting. When we try to return to the cave to convince everyone of what we saw ("be real about what we see," as you said) we will find ourselves just as blind as when we first left. And those still in the cave, who were against us this whole time, can only conclude that leaving the cave is harmful, and they shouldn't follow in our footsteps.
It terrifies me, but I'm beginning to think Plato was right. Not everybody is ready, or even meant to, leave the cave. In either case, all we can do is go on knowing we have seen the light, and maybe some others are ready to do the same.
Well, if Trump does have a secret plan. He better not tell Lin Wood. Otherwise, everyone would know about it in the next hour.
No shit , but I could use a little Lin wood hopium right now !
