In Plato's " The Allegory of the Cave" Socrates tells a story to his student glaucon to explain that we live an unexamined life. We live a closed life, always on the same level of knowledge, never being able to increase that knowledge. The illusion are created by our culture ,society by those who benefit from helping us ignorange and we believe these illusions to be real. When we are given knowledge we become from of these illusions but gaining knowledge is a slow painful process. Gradually, we become wise when we try to explain what we have learned what is real "true and right" to others we fail because they deny or can't understand the truth. they conclude the knowledgeable person is ridiculous, stupid or crazy and dangerous.
Thesis; Seeking truth is a journey from the cave to the light and those who love wisedom will complete this journey.
Knowledgeable person must be hard worker. Nothing is easy to gainure. Having hardwork is the key point to success in life. A great example is the author metions Gainning knowledge is a slow painful process. people gradually, learn day by day and one day they are be able to higher literate person. in my high school i learned that my teacher told me learn Five vocabularie a day and one day you can learn many vocabularies.
