There was one ant that fell in while carrying a pupa. That pupa ended up being born in the darkness of this hell hole prison, never knowing any other kind of life. So when the wood 2x4 came down from the sky the other ants were scared and skeptical. But this pupa was not afraid and would be the first to climb it. When he reached the top, he saw the light for the first time and finally knew the world that had been kept from him all his life. When his brothers saw he had succeeded, they followed his scent trail upward, and that’s how the pupa became the new leader of an army brought out from the darkness.
- sneak 5y agoI thought you were going for allegory of the cave, and were a little sad when you didn't.
- solarmist 5y agoWhich allegory is that? Plato’s cave? Oh, wow, I didn't realize it was called “the allegory of the cave.” That's such a bleak view of humanity. I don't think it's quite that bad in general, but I can certainly see the inspiration for it even nowadays.
