Plato's Allegory of the Cave

Imagine prisoners who have been chained since childhood deep inside a cave. Not only are their limbs immobilized by the chains; their heads are chained as well so that their gaze is fixed on a wall.

Behind the prisoners is an enormous fire, and between the fire and the prisoners is a raised walkway, along which shapes of various animals, plants, and other things are carried. The shapes cast shadows on the wall, and the prisoners watch these shadows. When one of the shape-carriers speaks, an echo against the wall causes the prisoners to believe that the words come from the shadows.

The prisoners engage in what appears to us to be a game - naming the shapes as they come by. This, however, is the only reality that they know, even though they are seeing merely shadows of images. They are thus conditioned to judge the quality of one another by their skill in quickly naming the shapes and dislike those who begin to play poorly.

Suppose a prisoner is released and compelled to stand up and turn around.

His eyes will be blinded by the firelight, and the shapes passing will appear less real than their shadows.

Similarly, if he is dragged up out of the cave into the sunlight, his eyes will be so blinded that he will not be able to see anything. At first, he will be able to see darker shapes such as shadows and, only later, brighter and brighter objects.

The last object he would be able to see is the sun, which, in time, he would learn to see as that object which provides the seasons and the courses of the year, presides over all things in the visible region, and is in some way the cause of all these things that he has seen.


Once enlightened, so to speak, the freed prisoner would want to return to the cave to free "his fellow bondsmen". Another problem lies in the other prisoners not wanting to be freed: descending back into the cave would require that the freed prisoner's eyes adjust again, and for a time, he would be one of the ones identifying shapes on the wall. His eyes would be swamped by the darkness, and would take time to become acclimatized. Therefore, he would not be able to identify shapes on the wall as well as the other prisoners, making it seem as if his being taken to the surface completely ruined his eyesight. The other prisoners would then not go to the surface, in fear of losing their eyesight. If someone were to try and force a prisoner to come to the surface, the prisoner would become murderous, and kill whoever tried to force him to come to the surface. (The Republic bk. VII, 516b-c; trans. Paul Shorey).

The Past...

It sure wasn't long ago that I was in Calgary finishing up my Bachalors in Religious Education. The school puts out a news letter called the link. This newsletter is pretty much a waist of paper and more often then not they are trying to get more money from you. They seem to think that 10,000 dollars a year in tuition is not enough, no im not bitter. Embeded in the pages of the Link are pictures, to many people they would mean nothing but to me they mean alot because they are people I was very familiar with. They are people I laughed with, people I cried with, people I lived life with for 5 years. Now they seem like people I barely know, a chapter has closed and another one opened but its hard to not to look back and feel some sense of sadness.

Don't get me wrong im excited where I am and I know that its where I need to be. I am so thankful that God allowed me to return home, but sometimes I just wish that calgary was a little bit closer.

Mouth Frozen

So I was at the dentist today to get a cavity filled and some other dental work. They froze my mouth which I expected but I think he used a little to much. My mouth was frozen for a total of 4 hrs. I could barely eat or talk without being in pain. During this period I had my shower for the day and shaved and it was rather unpleasant. Its a weird feeling having a sharp blade run across your frozen face.

Yesterday on msn I said by to one of my CBC friends by calling him a poo face. I was just notified that it was actually not him on msn but his mother. I am rather embarrassed.

Well hope that good enough cause that's all I got for now.

Enjoy...

Three men who were lost in the forest were captured by cannibals. The cannibal king told the prisoners that they could live if they pass a trial. The first step of the trial was to go to the forest and get ten pieces of the same kind of fruit. So all three men went separate ways to gather fruits.

The first one came back and said to the king, "I brought ten apples." The king then explained the trial to him. "You have to shove the fruits up your butt without any expression on your face or you'll be eaten."

The first apple went in... but on the second one he winced out in pain, so he was killed.

The second one arrived and showed the king ten berries. When the king explained the trial to him he thought to himself that this should be easy. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... and on the ninth berry he burst out in laughter and was killed.

The first guy and the second guy met in heaven. The first one asked, "Why did you laugh, you almost got away with it?" The second one replied, "I couldn't help it, I saw the third guy coming with pineapples."
