Allegory of the Cave

1- Allegory of the Cave represents how our future is enlightened or unenlightened.

2- Imagery elements : very descriptive . Example- the certainly did see both small and great.

3- Enlightenment/Education -  calls to question authority. Example - but is not this unjust? 

4- Cave Dwellers - quote: "to them the truth would be nothing but the shadows of the images.

5- What shackles my mind today in this society is homework and stress.

6- freed prisoner vs. cave prisoner - free referring to their mind is free.

7- 2 contexts: enlightened thinking or unenlightening thinking (dark).

8- to get free: arithmetic knowledge should not be given up.

9- I agree that there is definitely a difference between appearance and reality. People who "have it all" are normally mentally unsure of themselves.

10- Reality and appearance can be the same in physical appearance and personality type.
