Question

What is the message of the Daedalus mythological story? What role does the aspiration for man to have the ability to fly play?

Answer 1

The story of Daedalus is thousands of years old and yet its message is still relevant today. From the story, we learn that a balanced is what we should seek. In all aspects of our life, physical, mental, financial, social, emotional and spiritual, we should aim for the middle ground while avoiding extremes. In our aspirations, we should not be too greedy and want everything and neither should we be too fearful and avoid everything. Greed and fear are two emotions that direct a lot of what we do. We need to consciously be aware of these emotions as we live our lives and make sure we do not fall prey to either of them.
