Plato allegory of the cave is interesting because, it puts you in his perspective, when you know the truth you are like a free prisoner but when you haven’t see anything outside your beliefs you resist to learn of find the truth as a lie, life is like being in a cave, you know and see things but when you see something different you find it interesting, when you are used to something it’s hard to change someone’s perspective or perception, in the allegory it teaches that it’s hard for others to believe or learn something if that’s the only things they’ve seen their whole life, the only way to change or show them something different it’s by showing them proof or just letting them see things for themselves.
