  “ALLEGORY OF THE CAVE”

“The essential point is that the prisoners in the cave are not seeing reality, but only a shadowy representation of it” says Plato.

  We are prisoners of our own beliefs. When someone try’s too tell you what they call the” truth” we think they are automatically crazy. We only know what we can see and read. If it is not sitting right in front of you, how can you try too convince some that what they currently believe in is wrong?

 What do you think?
