The Cave

[Sixth]

Imagine. You’ve lived your entire life in a cave. You’re not alone in this cave as you have friends there but you are trapped, chained to a rock and you can’t leave. In fact, not only can you not leave, you can’t even turn around. All you’ve seen, aside from your friends, are shadows flickering on the cave wall.

One day your chain breaks. You can get up, move around and find the cave’s mouth. You’re able to see the sun for the first time and you have a chance to see the people, animals and objects that exist outside the cave and who’s movement and passage causes the flickering shadows on the wall of your cave. It’s not as simple as that though, the sun’s too bright for you after all these years of darkness and it badly hurts your eyes. You go back into the cave to tell your friends that you strongly suspect there is a world and that the shadows in the cave are nothing more than a reflection of this other world. Your friends hate this idea, they’re upset and angry at your suggestion that the cave and its shadows is not as definitely real as they’ve always assumed it to be.

What would you do? Would you stay with your friends in the cave or would you dare the blinding sunlight and leave the cave?

Thing is there is more than one exit to that cave. There's one that leads to just shadow and light -- its impossibly hard and bright. I don't think I could back if I wanted too.

Just one exit; the one which leads to the blinding sunlight.

I'd like to say I'd break free. But small steps, ya know?

 

[juicygirl]

Only for repressed Greeks sweet sixth. They didn't think women could exit that cave.

Oi, stop that now; you must pick –one- of two.
      a) Forum sexy girl
      b) Forum academic

If you select (a) then you’re not allowed to notice when I borrow analogies straight from The Republic.

 

[juicygirl]

Okay sweety, I'll stay mum. Still truth is more complicated than all that.

 

[Sixth]

Wow. Closest poll yet. People are too afraid to vote.

 

[juicygirl]

I voted sixth. So are you going to spank me or not.

No.


But I will chain you to a counter and have the entire collection of a trucker's cafe leave their meaty handprints on your backside.

Or do I mean: butt.

 

[juicygirl]

OOOh you are a nasty boy. Fraid I know a lot of boys who are nasty like that. Good luck with your poll.

 

[ScarlettRose]

hmmm, sounds like birth to me

 

[Sixth]

Would it be rude of me to say;
    "Look at those breasts!";

Oh. Right. I'll shush then.

 

[juicygirl]

What does scarlett.


Sixth they better not do anything else or I will get you back.

 

[juicygirl]

Doh! Scarlett, you mean the cave. Its meant as more of a metaphor for enlightenment.

 

[modest mouse]

Oh, and growing up is a bitch but the scars are what make it work.

[claude_moveml]

Would appreciate it if you could wack some my way, me's famished. Don't care what the topping is.

 

[ScarlettRose]
