Allegory of the Cave
This is an interesting piece as it gives a lot of insight into everyday life and how one views their own world. In this story the characters are chained and their reality is what they know which is only what they have been exposed to. When exposed to the real world they retreat to the comfort of their own world.
In real life people often act the same way. One often exposes one self to only a single side of an issue and procedes to argue a point with fury never having been exposed to the other valid points of the issue.
As for myself, this story gives me the motivation to enure all perspectives of any issue I face so that I will make more informed, valid decisions for my life. In the future I will be less quick to judge and more open to hearing the positions of others.
