- 17:27the
- 17:27path
- 17:27of
- 17:27education.
- 17:28We
- 17:29reorient
- 17:30our
- 17:30minds
- 17:31from
- 17:31shadows
- 17:32to
- 17:32truth.
- 17:33This
- 17:33is
- 17:33the
- 17:33upward
- 17:34journey
- 17:34of
- 17:34the
- 17:34soul.
- 17:35So
- 17:36true.
- 17:36Education
- 17:36is
- 17:37like
- 17:37we
- 17:37lead
- 17:37our
- 17:38minds
- 17:38out
- 17:38of
- 17:39a
- 17:39cave
- 17:39of
- 17:39shadows
- 17:40to
- 17:40see
- 17:41reality.
- 17:42So
- 17:42what
- 17:42would
- 17:42this
- 17:42experience
- 17:43be
- 17:43like?
- 17:43It
- 17:44would
- 17:44be
- 17:44difficult.
- 17:44It'll
- 17:45be
- 17:45challenging.
- 17:45As
- 17:46we
- 17:46move
- 17:46out
- 17:47of
- 17:47the
- 17:47cave,
- 17:47we
- 17:48feel
- 17:48very
- 17:48disoriented.
- 17:49Right.
- 17:50As
- 17:50we
- 17:51finally
- 17:51leave
- 17:52the
- 17:52cave,
- 17:52the
- 17:53world
- 17:53feels
- 17:53so
- 17:53bright
- 17:54and
- 17:54just,
- 17:55just
- 17:55mind
- 17:55boggling
- 17:56to
- 17:56us.
- 17:56It
- 17:56would
- 17:56take
- 17:56some
- 17:57adjustment
- 17:57time.
- 17:57Right.
- 17:58But
- 17:59would
- 17:59we
- 18:00ever
- 18:00want
- 18:00to
- 18:01go
- 18:01back
- 18:01in

- 18:04rather,
- 18:05we
- 18:06would
- 18:06rather
- 18:06be
- 18:06a
- 18:07servant
- 18:07in
- 18:08reality
- 18:09than
- 18:09the
- 18:10king
- 18:10of
- 18:10the
- 18:10shadows
- 18:11down
- 18:11below.
- 18:12So
- 18:12this,
- 18:13then
- 18:14we
- 18:15would
- 18:15go
- 18:15back
- 18:15into
- 18:15the
- 18:16cave.
- 18:16To
- 18:16say,
- 18:17hey
