The universality of human vulnerability and strengthWe explore the universality of human vulnerability and strength during times overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. These silent and invisible beasts can drag us into the Plato’s cave. Here, we only see the intermittent reflected light of small fires and the shadows of our fears, our distorted perception of reality. We empower the two beasts to keep us hostage in the Plato’s cave. It is within us the strength to win over our fears and walk away toward the true light of reality.
