It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation”. This quote by Rabindranath Tagore reveals some of my perspective on what is important to focus on when examining your beliefs of philosophy. As explained in the Allegory of the Cave by Plato‚ some of reality is merely shadows; in Plato’s perspective‚ this puppet show view is created by the materialistic world.

This light is actually a fire behind them‚ which has a low sitting wall in between itself and the prisoners. As men walk below the wall holding up objects
