You know, when it comes to the question of what is justice, I believe we are slowly but surely getting out of the cave and into the Sun.
Also, I think that everyone has a beauty/greatness, that is specific to them, and then it can grow....it's like a hidden talent, a unique sword everyone has.
I think this world challenges us all, but gives an opportunity to bring out our potential. That potential is linked to God, but I believe everyone will have their unique inner talent/sword/beauty/honor...
In case of analogy of the cave, it seems everyone's "Sun" is the same, but I disagree, I think we are linked to the same Sun, but the light that enlightens our souls, is unique to each soul, and differs. That light is muddled into shadows by the wrong thing society teaches but I would say is the Sun in the analogy.
It's universal at the same time unique. People's personalities share common things yet unique. If you know what I mean.
The original "light" and "shinning sun" in each soul, is specific to that soul, but has a link to the divine.
There is different beauties yet they all stem from one universal beauty that encompasses all beauty.
I feel seeing different souls is like seeing different manifestations of God's beauty.
