In the allegory of the cave man  socrates said '' I said,let me show in a figure how far our nature is englightened or unenlightened:- behold! human beings living in a underground  den, which has a mouth open towards the light and reaching all along the den; here they have been from their childhood, and have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and can only see before them,being prevented by the chains from turning round their heads.like ourselves,I replied ;and they see only their own shadows, or the shadows of one another ,which the fire throws on the opposite wall of the cave.how could they see ''The people were perplexed because they believed in a lie so much that when they were told the truth with proof they still were in denial.The truth was a lie an illusion and the lie  they lived for them was the truth so even  though they were shown the light they still choose to live in the darkIt's hard to except change when living a certain way for many years, the reality of it all cannot seem to make sense it will always seem foreign.
