His speech is just like Plato's Cave analogy in REPUBLIC

@Nietzsche68 If this is true, then it follows that any one of these subjective purposes is just as valid as the next one. It then follows that the self-given purpose of a murderer, rapist, or tyrant is as valid as that of anyone else. Your own argument necessitates such a conclusion.
And please don't claim that these purposes are valid only if they do not infringe on those of others, because -that- implies an -objective- moral imperative not to harm others -- ie, the Golden Rule.

The only thing I know is that I know nothing. - Socrates. After over 2400 years there is still none wiser.

watching this, again, after so many years... I have to wonder if Biggs(stephen) and Katsulas(G'Kar) had any suspicion that they'd leave us so soon...
Both their characters seem, spiritually, to be so much brighter than everyone else...
I also want to say, to the well-meaning but bumbling pupil: "Put your face in the book."

That explanation of the light on the wall is exactly what Lenier said to Aldous Gajic in episode 1.15 ("The Grail") when explaining Mimbari beliefs on God.

@ArM00geddon I know, that was why I laughed

@LordGodsServant I was joking =|

@ArM00geddon haha, I suppose within the context of the metaphor he is a light without compare, without a "switch" per say.
Wow...intelligent discussion on Youtube! Using complete words and sentences!
More than anything else, this may be the ultimate tribute to the power of Babylon 5!
Thanks to all who participate...

There is no inherent purpose, meaning or truth to life. We are all born with none of these things. This is what we call Existential Atheism. We are born without a purpose, a meaning to life. Our choices, our actions and our responsibilities dictate our meaning and purpose. We are the sole creators of our purpose and existence. There is no objective meaning or purpose, only a subjective one provided by the doer. :) :)
