#91: Is the Life You are Living REAL?

We do not like the idea that we are not in control of our life. However, what if the choices we make are an illusion created between those with power and those without?  It is a hard and difficult question to wrestle with. In this podcast episode, we continue our march through the genre known as wisdom literature by analyzing the great philosopher Plato. Specifically, we will be talking about his seminal work The Republic and the powerful and relevant "Allegory of the Cave." Come along to connect the 4th century BCE with 21st-century post-modernism as we dig deep into what is real and what is not real in life. We will even connect the dots with the great movie trilogy The Matrix. Insights here can alter your perspectives on life.
