Freedom & Enlightenment

Friends, I am a complete philosophy nut. Plato teaches that our task as the enlightened is to ascend into the light, descend back into the dark, and bring others to know good. (This entire post may be an excuse to get you to watch the video below, which explains the Allegory of the Cave. Maybe.)

SO, here I am sharing stories that will help you enlighten the young people in your life when it comes to FREEDOM. Young Liberty Friends, these are AWESOME books. Read them. Come speak with me about them when you finish. Tell me what you think. (I'll bribe you with a Twizzler.)
