Our nature is not all about the enlightenment not everything in life is colorful and a good example of how our nature is unenlightened. The main idea of the “Allegory of the Cave” is that people are trap in their own illusion and they would not accept what reality really is. Leaving underground is something no human being would like to experience but in this case a group of people been in a tunnel since their childhood they were chain together and facing a wall, they could not even turn their neck. On back of them there was a long walk reaching the light. This people could not differentiate any object because all they would see is shadows. For example, they would see something and they would call it book because of the shape but it might not be a book it could be a frame or any other object. They not even able to see who was really talking they though it was one of the guys around them but it was not it was people from outside and when they use to pass by their echo would hit the wall and would spread the voice around the den.
One of the guys was release and when he went out there to the real world his eyes hurt it him do to the light and he did not accept the real world because he was use to the world he lived in. The hardest thing for him was recognizing the subject around him because he never saw them before, so for him it was really hard and he felt sorry for the prisoners who are underground.
When he came back to the cave he told all the other prisoners that the world out there is way different from what is inside the den.
