I sometimes feel like the guy returning to the cave to free the people still in there, living a life of illusion!
Of course they just mock me, insult my intelligence, quote something that we ALL were indoctrinated with.....
And then they go back to watching their shadow puppet show, feeling superior and patting themselves on the back for being so "Intelligent"
It's disheartening!
But just like the bible tells us....
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
It says nothing about sitting on your butt watching shadows
on the wall (Or television either)
Here's the beginning of the post:
Plato's allegory of the cave
In a cave, people who have spent their lives facing back to the light coming from outside, see only the shadows of animals, people and objects in front of them.
These shadows are the only reality for these people who have never seen their true form.
One day, one of the people living in the cave is suddenly released. He encounters the world outside the cave. The eyes of this person, who are completely acquainted with the light, that is, the truth, experience almost blindness.
Over time, he begins to realize that the shadows that he thought were real until now are not real and are just dark reflections of the truth.
