Plato paints the picture of a Charioteer driving a chariot pulled by two winged horses:
“First the charioteer of the human soul drives a pair, and secondly one of the horses is noble and of noble breed, but the other quite the opposite in breed and character. Therefore in our case the driving is necessarily difficult and troublesome.”
I feel we can all benefit from a little understanding that there are choices to be made and some decisions are not as healthy or progressively positive as others. However, not wanting to overlook an important facet of Plato’s allegory…where the heck is my flying chariot??!! At this point I would settle for a winged horse.
