Скачать или смотреть He Flew Too Close To The Sun (A Powerful Cautionary Tale About Ambition)

This is a powerful retelling of the ancient Greek myth of Icarus—a profound and timeless cautionary tale about unchecked ambition, the peril of arrogance (hubris), and the wisdom of heeding the warnings of experience.

The brilliant inventor Daedalus and his young son, Icarus, are imprisoned. To escape, Daedalus crafts magnificent wings from feathers and wax, giving his son one crucial warning: fly the middle path. Do not fly too low, lest the sea spray weighs you down, nor too high, lest the sun's heat melts the wax. But overcome with the god-like ecstasy of flight, Icarus forgets his father's words. Driven by a desire to touch the sun, his ambition turns to arrogance, leading to a tragic and fatal fall.

It is a powerful reminder that our greatest gifts must be balanced with humility, and that the warnings of experience are often the only guardrails that keep our dreams from becoming tragedies.
