Most of the prisoners don’t even suspect they’re in a cave. Most of the ones who do so suspect, are “too busy” doing cave stuff to bother looking for the exit. And many of those who do look for the exit, never find it. And many of the few who do find the exit, are afraid to leave their familiar cave, so they run away from the exit and back into the cave. Even when they have a guide who shows them the exit and says, “I did it. Other people have done it. You can do it also.” In the end, courage is required and no guide can supply you with that. You have to supply it yourself, from within. It’s the price of freedom.
