The Allegory Of The Cave

One of the worlds well-known Philosophers once wrote an allegory within the book of The Republic. This Allegory goes by the name of The Allegory of the Cave. This lesson will show us the hierarchical view of reality and wisdom. Plato will describe the trials through the artifice and then insight into knowledge that is unknown to them. Plato begins this lesson as a deep cave that possesses prisoners inside, these prisoners have been there since birth and have seen nothing else but the cave they dwell in. These prisoners are chained to a wall were it is physically impossible to move their arms, legs and their necks from against the wall they are positioned on. Behind the prisoners is a sort of puppet show, where men will walk along a road
Now one prisoner has been released and forced to turn around and see the fire blazing behind them. The sudden brightness from the fire would be painful to the prisoner and distort his line of sight. Looking at the inanimate figures the prisoner will be told the truth and which each and every object was. The prisoner would be stunned and start to deny this new information and revert to what only he knows. Next, they will forcibly drag the prisoner outside into the light for the first time.

Many of the American people are fighting this wall along our borders, in which the prisoner fought to go outside. We are forcibly preparing this wall amongst any disagreement and protests. The absolute shock of this happening throughout the United States of America has been shown through and by the people. Just as the complete shock and awe of our prisoner coming out into the daylight. However, the wall is not finished and we seem to still be looking around and adjusting our eyes. Still looking at the reflection of the sun in the water as the prisoner did. Once this wall is built the American people can come out of this situation as the prisoner did with new knowledge and seeing The Good.
