Out of the Cave...

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

"On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow."
-Friedrich Nietzsche, philosopher (1844-1900)

Can you think of a way this quotation applies to Plato's allegory of the cave?
