summary of "Allegory of the cave"

 Allegory of the cave has a very intellectual way of seeing life in a  whole different perspective

than what we're used to.

It shows how we're  blind sited by what we want to see and what we refuse to see, when its

right in front of our face.

We are being taught something that society want's us to know, and forbidden from what they

don't.

 And when we discover the truth it becomes to much for us to handle then we become

overwhelmed with doubts and  fear of our natural beliefs and what we were used to,  We

become scornful of others and look down upon the ones that haven't yet discovered the truth .

Basically we're being fed and taught what "the man " wants us to believe,  and we become

comfortable with it and never  doubt nor bothered looking at what can be  greater than what we

we're

given. But he also made a point clear that by discovering the truth it can also cause pain and

discomfort off of something brand new than what  we received from the one that was too frighten

to have us know the truth cause they knew that we would've benefit from it  and probably

overpower. Basically its  about a man who tried to change our perspective on life and  show us

to look further than whats in front of us , and opened our eyes to a world that we were forbidden

to  see which we could do better from.
