Subject: Will we be blinded?

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit."

Whenever I think about Destiny, I can't help but think about Allegory of the Cave.

Allegory of the Cave Video

Right now we are trapped in the darkness, only able to see shadows of the blazing fire that is Destiny. So far we have only been given/found little tid bits of information (the factions, geomancy, the contract, etc). Like the men stuck in the cave this a poor representation of the world.

But what will happen when we escape the darkness?
Will we be blinded in the face of Destiny or can we keep an open mind and evaluate Destiny fairly?


Anyways, time to go back to writing my paper:(

When you first saw Halo, were you blinded by its' majesty?

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

We will literally be blinded. Definitely.

But surely you understand that once Destiny was released...

Who said we were trapped? We're here of our own accord and we can leave whenever we want.

You obviously haven't settled in yet, this is our home. There is no need to escape, but when Destiny arrives we will be amongst the new crowds.

That's got to be one of the most misheard lyrics ever, and I'm impressed that Foamy got it right, but he probably just Goog-- er, Binged it.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Blinded by majesty, yes.
Blinded by reality or whatever the video talked about? Probably not.

We'll be paralyzed and dumbstruck.

Come out of your cave walking on your hands and see the world hanging upside down...

No, I don't believe we will be blinded as much as we will be relieved.
