The passage (The allegory of the cave) by Socrates talks about very significant idea which is “realizing the truth”. Generations after generations live all their lives, believe in their negative concepts and thoughts. They refuse to think. They live in a cave full of shadows. They refuse to learn about the truth .The truth is outside of their cave but they refuse to believe. In my opinion I agree with Socrates concept. I believe that as long humans beings are living, they have to seek for freedom .Freedom of thoughts and habits. Sometimes we live all our lives and die without realizing the truth.
It takes years and years to get outside of the cave .It takes time to see the light and realize the reality. They see the changes and don’t accept it. They rejected to live the challenges of life, because the truth always surrounded by Bain. People in this passage like prisoners. They are prisoners of thoughts and perspectives .Prisoners recognize the truth of life like shadows, in our passage one of these prisoners broke the chains. He went outside of the cave. He saw the wonderful world outside the cave. He saw the light .The light of the sun. The sun is the truth. He realized the truth. When he came back to his beers. He tried to break their chains. They refused him. They disbelieved him. They like the ignorance they live in. The easy life they live. The life they get used to for years. But always, there will be someone tries to get out of the cave, He will break the chains .The rude will be lighten by him. He knew the truth and realized reality.
I want to write about my childhood. Im from Egypt when I was young, my parents used to bring me to church all the time. When I was in church. I enjoyed my time between praying and attending the sun day school. We used to have a different teacher once a while. Those teachers used to say the same words.”We are the chosen people for God .We have the right direction between all religions .Everything we do is a sin .If we drink, it is a sin. If we went to a movie theater, it is a sin. Everything is forbidden. We are the sons of God, and because we are the sons of God. We shouldn’t do a lot of things”. The truth is the Christian church controlling the people all over the world, not only in my country but also around the world. They control the brains, the minds, the thoughts and the believes. And the same is happening in the Muslim world. When I grow up .I saw things different. As a grown woman .I would like to judge things from my own perspective. I would like to believe and think with my own mind. I seek for freedom, for light, for the sun and for the truth.
By the end, whatever it takes, people will change, it takes time to change, but they will. They will know the truth. They will see the light by the end of the rude. They will break the chains and get out of the cave. They will make believe in the wonderful world outside the cave. Make believe in truth and reality. Make believe in freedom.
