Ng Pei Keat 1006795 Plato's Allegory of the cave

In my research, i think that The allegory of the cave is implying that humans are blind, not physically, but mentally. We tend to not believe what is the right of reality in front of our very eye. the cave represents to somewhat corrupt or secluded world we live in. A dark world with nothing to be seen. in the story, when the humans finally escape from the cave where they face the sunlight, the sunlight represents truth. when the sunlight is shown it is then that reality is seen. while we human have different own perceptions, there is only one truth in our life and the one truth is always be present.
