passing through between the prisoners and a fire. Every day the people in the cave watch these shadows and have given them names, it has become their reality. The prisoners had created a game of guessing which shadow would appear next, if one was correct, the others would praise him as intelligent and clever. However, Plato suggests that since these shadows are not the truth, it would be silly to admire someone that actually does not know anything. Eventually, one prisoner decides to break…

Aristotle once said “Each man judges well the things that he knows, and of these he is the best judge. Thus the man who had been educated in a certain area is the best judge in that area, while the man who has a general education is a good judge in general.” The quote states how an individual is able to effectively judge the things that they know the best.

The quality of wisdom is one that has a debatable connotation. While it is true that most people would associate it with feelings of peace, happiness, or enlightenment, I have come to look at wisdom as a source of unrest. Observing wisdom and its cause of human disturbance in literary works such as Antigone, Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, and Genesis, it is evident that wisdom is the direct cause of anxiety rather than the feelings of peace or enlightenment that are generally associated with the…

multiple suggestions on how to live an authentic and purposeful life in Plato’s “The Simile of the Cave” from The Republic. In the opening paragraph of the allegory, it begins painting a picture of prisoners who are tightly secured within their chains. “In this chamber are men who have been prisoners there since they were children, their legs and necks being so fastened that they can only look straight ahead of them and cannot turn their heads.” Through reading the description that these men in…

although the biggest parallel can be seen within the character of Neo. The image of the prisoner who escaped from the cave in “The Allegory of the Cave” can be seen as having an influence on the Wachowski sibling’s character Neo from The Matrix.

These prisoners can be compared to the humans in The Matrix. These people were living in the…

Led by a sequence of chains, relentless guards warily monitored every limping slave. Mist blew through the ashen compound as every helpless hostage whimpered in agony. Masking beats of drums pursued every hesitant shuffle. Desolated hostages scuffled onto the wooden deck; their blistered, wounded soles left blood prints…

Today was a slow day, but very education. I am finding that out that my time at CTLC is better spent watching than actually doing things. When I walked into the double door facility I seen the usual faces, and I greeted them as I made my way back to my little small cubical office. When I arrived at my office about two minutes after greeting several people, I noticed a small green sticky note that was on my desk from the day prior. The note was to remind me about the Homeless Alliance meeting at…
