Most of us are living in our little cave. Our needs, friendship, and longings are limited to ourselves. What we like is part of the cave. What we dislike is irrational, wrong, or moronic. We are hurt with the discomfort even though they be the reality of life. Our limited knowledge is our ignorance.
I was watching Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and, it got me thinking. How uncomfortable we become at surroundings or self at unusual instances: A job interview, Date et all. Our perception and expectation have been set and conditioned since eternity. We are not looking beyond it and, we get a shocker.
What would you reply to a job interview if they ask about your meaning of existence? Will you tell them it a technical interview and you have not prepared to for answering this kind of question?
What would you reply to your Date if he/she asks you about the journey of life instead of materialistic possesions or conversations about your Instagram pics? Will, you put them in the loser category and never meet them?
