My Place in the Cave
According to “The allegory to the cave” it is stated that if we think a group of prisoners chained since birth and the prisoners are unable to move their heads their life could be full of darkness. In the prison they can’t move their heads and they hear the reflection of sounds and all they see are shadows. However, the sounds and shadows are made by people walking on a rising walkway close to the wall. They believe that the sound reflection and shadows to be real. Moreover, one of the prisoners is set to be free. Gradually, his sight adjusts. He leaves the cave. He gradually becomes accustomed to the sights of the world outside the cave. He decides to go back to the cave. His ability to predict the shadows is finished. The prisoners mimic him and threaten to kill him.
According to the comparison with Socrates I think the stage I have I can see only my shadow or the shadows of one another which the fire throws on the opposite wall of the cave. The stage I have that is bonded with chain of life. Sometime I feel so amazed when I saw the shadow of mine is following me. I try to walk into the light and try to find the meaning of my life I feel lost. the thing I can claim about that is sometimes I got trapped into nowhere and I couldn’t find the path that could help me rid of this. I don’t know what to do and where to go. Finally, I am planning to follow my destiny that is so obvious that I can’t ignore it.
