James I'm glad you eyjoned the analogy of the mind as a wild horse! I, too, find the thought of taming a truly wild horse to be quite intimidating. Like you, I recognize that it is possible, but takes practice, effort, and patience. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Plato's allegory of a chariot pulled by two winged horses. I can certainly see the relationship between the charioteer in this allegory to the true you that I discuss here. This allegory inspires lots of thoughts that I have about choice, mindfulness, and self-management, as well. I imagine the job of the charioteer to require great mindfulness, temperance, and patience. When I consider the charioteer as the true you, it almost feels as though the true self is tragically divided against itself, what with the noble horse and the less than noble horse. I wonder what is the best way to navigate such a chariot does one allow both horses equal pull? Is that necessary for true moderation? Or does one need to overly restrain one horse while given the other the lead? Thank for your comment.

It's wodnerufl to have you on our side, haha!
