>Classic false equivalence. Choosing how to respond to life’s chaos isn’t the same as submitting your identity to a divine will. One is active confrontation, the other is willful dependence. Submitting to your own values, forged through experience and critical thought, is not the same as handing yourself over to an invisible caretaker and calling it strength. If you think all submission is equal, you’re just flattening nuance to protect your worldview.
Many faiths emphasize that "submitting to divine will" is not a passive or weak act, but rather a profound and active choice. It often involves ongoing discernment, prayer, study, and a conscious effort to align one's actions with perceived divine principles. It's a journey, not a one-time surrender.

The Fire: Behind the prisoners, and at some distance above them, a fire burns. This fire provides the only source of light within the cave itself.
The Walkway and Puppeteers: Between the fire and the prisoners, there's a raised walkway. Along this walkway, people (the "puppeteers") carry various objects – statues of animals, human figures, and other artifacts. As they pass, these objects rise above a low wall that separates the walkway from the view of the prisoners.
The Shadows: The fire casts the shadows of these objects onto the back wall of the cave, directly in front of the prisoners.
