The basic premise of Plato's allegory of the cave is to represent the nature of the human being, where the true reality is hidden, false images and information are perceived as reality. In the allegory Plato tells the story of a man who is put on a Gnostic path. Prisoners sitting in a cave with their legs and necks chained since childhood. They are chained in such a way that they cannot move or see each other, but only look into the shadows on the wall in front of them; without realizing that they have three-dimensional bodies. These images are of humans and animals, carried by an invisible man in the background. Now imagine that one of the prisoners is released into the light, the Gnostic path will become painful and difficult, but slowly his eyes will begin to accept what he sees and his fundamentalist view of the world will begin to change; he soon sees everything through anarchic thoughts and reasons. When he returns to the cave, his fellow prisoners neither recognize him nor understand anything he said. He developed new senses and perceptive abilities. This is the representation of the condition of human nature, we live in a cave with a false perception of reality that we have been told since childhood, these include prejudicial beliefs; but we must realize that these current perceptions are incomplete. To awaken the unconscious you need to experience reality and develop new senses. The cave overall incorporates the idea of ​​a cinema, where people sit in front of a screen without knowing or wanting to know who is showing the film, only to sit in the darkness and watch the screen. Many of us take what we see in the movie as reality, without distinguishing between history, fantasy and reality, and soon start behaving like the characters in... middle of paper... use Afghanistan. there is a terrorist who will attack our country, we will perceive it as truth. If tomorrow the district school system said that 2+2=5, no longer 4, many would follow the new rule because they are the mathematicians and they no longer do it more than us, so what they say is true. All these people play a role in creating this false reality that we all perceive as true reality. We have no individual autonomy despite the system claiming that we possess such fundamental freedom. From childhood, the government and school system provides us with guidelines to follow and never question these guidelines. In summary, Plato's cave is an allegory of the human condition, each of us is a prisoner, shackled with a distorted illusion of reality. To obtain individual autonomy we must awaken the unconscious, we must kill our imperfection and free our senses.
