Allegory of the cave
498C0031
John
Magicians always make people surprised at their magic. How
surprising it is! People must have the same feeling at that time. Of course,
people never know how magicians make magic tricks at that moment. As
a proverb said that to see is to believe. Most people believe that they see
from their eyes. On the contrary, it is impossible for them to believe
something that they have never seen.
Like the people who live in the cave when they born. There is
nothing but light, shadow, and black. That is what they can see. But one
of their friend leave the cave. When he/she comes back to the cave,
he/she tells what he/she has seen but all of his/her friends in the cave do
not trust what he/she tells because they could not image what it is and
accept the true.
To sum up, we must have to trust what we see. To see is to believe.
Although we only could see from eyes, we can get the information from
lots of things such as TV, internet and newspapers.
