blog # 5 (summary of allegory of the cave)

This article is about our nature whether it is freethinking, liberal or not.  To know the reality or truth, here are two examples written regarding changing our nature. There are prisoners living in a den whose legs and necks are chained so they are not able move. There is a fire burning behind them and  in between there is a way and a wall along the way. Whenever somebody passes along the wall with various materials, prisones can not see anything but they can see only the shadows which is thrown out by light. They don't know about the reality  and real world. Only that shadows and the images in cave are the reality to them. On the other hand if  those prisoners are released from the den, at first, one of them is released from that cave to this real world; he will suffer pains and will not be adapted immediately to this reality. He will have to grow accustomed to this real world. Gradually, he will be able to see every thing  in this world  and truth or reality. Eventually, last of all the truth, the world of knowledge, truth of the intellectual, source of reason  come  to be known by putting effort and fixing eyes so you can really observe those.
