Allegory of the Cave

While the original allegory of the cave was invented by Plato, I contrived my own one. I feel like I'm in the total darkness. No one near me who can show me the way or switch on the light. I don't know what the next step will bring to me; either a firm ground or a pit. Herefore, by some divine prescience I've never fell, but how long will it last? I need to see the light or some sort of sign to know where to go. My mind goes crazy in the darkness of this cave...

During my incomplete 20 years of existence I've gone through many things. I fluently speak several languages, saw many countries, and were in ultimate adventures. Today I have tremendous opportunities, many ways where to go. However, everyday I feel exhausted not knowing which path to choose. I have a deep insight of shortness of my life. Hence, I want to live it with dignity.

To live his life with dignity, one must value the job he does. He must feel that he is helpful to society. One has to have integrity and self-actualization. Being honest first to yourself and then to others is essential part of purpose driven life. Only at that time one is ready to start benefit people around him, when he has firm internal standards.

I stuck in this place dark place. Who can show me the right way? What life path should I choose? I guess I have to decide it by myself...
