       In Plato's ''allegory of the cave, ''Socrates is telling a symbolic story about prisoners who couldn't see anything but their shadow and echoes of people walking.All their lives they lived in a cave so their believe is things on earth  like the sun don't exit.Based on Socrates story the prisoners believe his story from outside the cave is dangerous so they did not believe him due to their ignorance.

BLOG 4 MY PLACE IN THE CAVE

If i was a prisoner i would be curious to find out what is outside the cave.Being chained in the dark all i can hear is echoes and things around but i cant see them.Ignorance of people in this world reminds me of the"cave,how we always want to remain where we are simply because we know  alot of things about where we have being for a long time.When we move on to see how things are different in our life's we sit back and pity ourselves for being blind before.for example,when i was growing up i didn't want to make friends i was in my own world ignoring everybody that comes my way but when i came out of my own ignorance and realized that  i need friends to be there for me it was not easy but i had to tell myself this is the time for me to come out from being blind and experience my new life.
