Title: A FLIGHT TOO FAR
The myth of Icarus illustrates freedom as both a privilege and a challenge. His flight symbolizes human ambition to break limits, while his tragic fall warns of the dangers of overreaching without wisdom. Icarus’s wings, crafted by Daedalus, represent the tools of liberation, offering a chance to rise above constraints. His ascent reflects the joy of freedom, but his fall highlights the consequences of ignoring limits and acting recklessly.
This timeless tale teaches that true freedom requires balance—courage to dream and wisdom to respect boundaries. In today’s world, it resonates with struggles for personal, political, and technological freedom, reminding us to pursue progress responsibly and ethically for the greater good.
