Allegory of the Cave
After reading “the Allegory of the Cave”, and watching the two short films. It makes me think if this place is real or not. If there is something more out there then what we see in our every day life, and what we see in our day are referred to as the images in the cave. If I was to say in what stage in life I think I’m in, I think I would be the example of the slave still locked up and in the cave viewing the images. I say that because I see myself doing things that someone else does. I’m following the same stream that society takes. Which is school, working, and being part of a family. I can’t picture a different life just for the simple fact that I’ve been raised with that mentality. Just like the slave in the cave and being raised with only knowing the images and not imaging that there is a whole different world out there. But if there was to be a different world, it would confuse me because I would not know which is real of the two, the one I came from or the one I’ve been introduce to.
