“It’s very easy to be judgemental until you know someone’s truth” (Kate Winslet). In Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” the story starts out introducing 4 men that have been chained up in a cave their whole lives, not being able to move and only being able to stare at a wall in front of them.

Far away in a big city, a besuited man idly tapped his fingers on the inside of the door of the limousine he rode in, the driver focusing intently on seeing his employer safely and swiftly to his destination. On the surface, it was simply another wealthy person being chauffeured to some private business, beyond the concern of the working class. And even beyond the surface, in some ways that's exactly what it was; the physical embodiment of Greed, known to some as Mammon and others as Arthur…
