Allegory of the cave

The allegory of the cave by Plato is a scenario set inside a cave with people chained up against the back wall of the cave. facing the wall with a fire behind them. When the fire illuminates their back sides they can see shadows or themselves and other people or things on the wall. The shadows that they see is what they know to be true. No body in the cave knows that what they know to be true is really not true at all. However, when the people break free from their chains and get outside the cave they experience the real truth. They then realize that what they have known all along has been a lie. I believe that it is better to be inside of the cave. Although sometimes many people would like to know the truth about everything, I believe that it is better sometimes to just live by faith. Let whatever happens, happen. In the end you really don't have any control over what happens. If you were to know the truth about everything how could that benefit you? Sometimes it is best to be kept in the dark about certain things. So overall even though sometimes it would be nice to know the truth about things, I think it would be best to be inside the cave.
