My "cave" experience

A point in my life when i feel like i was stuck in a cave was when i was very unhappy with playing competitive soccer every day. In previous years, i had been very happy with this life style but i had come to a point in my life where i was ready for other things. My curiosity and boredom with the regular schedule is what made me finally ascend from the cave. When i went back into the cave i found that others who were in my similar situation were still continuing to do the same things and were also very unhappy. I believe they do this because they are not willing to make the effort or they are too afraid to do anything about it. Research of my place could be considered an ascension because it is an enlightenment. It allows us to get a deeper and more accurate understanding of what it is that we are viewing and the significance of certain aspects of this environment.
