Blog Entry 3: "My Place in the Cave"

According to Plato in "The Allegory of the Cave" Socrates is speaking with Glauco to about his life. At fitst, author show prisoners chained since birth. They can't move and just hear echoes and look at shadows that are made walking on a raised pathway behind the prisoners. And believing their hearing and looking is real. One day, one of the prisoners is set free. Gradually, his sight adjusts. He leaves the cave. He slowly becomes accustomed to the sights of the world outside the cave. He decides to return to the cave.His ability to predict the shadows is diminished. The prisoners mock him and threaten to kill him.

I think our lives like cave. Some people just see around our things, and listen from around other people. They look at things like shadows that just an apparition. And they don't know that is real or not. Cave is very small, I believe people shouldn't stay at cave because the world is very big, and there are more interested things in the world that wait us to find. Then when we look at more and more, and understand some things, the small cave isnot stay bhind us.
