Blog Entry 03 Illusion

Humans never accept the reality. For us the reality is what our brain thinks and informs. But there are lots more to explore in the world of reality. When we look throughout the human history we found out that there were many illusions that took place. In the topic of the race-the power of illusions we find out that there are ten things which everyone should know about race. Some noteworthy are mentioned below

Human Diversity- there is no such identical characteristics or genes which make distinction of a member from a specific race with another from a different race. Biologically except the skin we all have the same genetically similar of all species.

Race is a modern idea-people from ancient time never involved them in the act of racism. They never categorized the people according to their class, language and religion. Its today's people who have created this boundary. Actually in English there is no word that exists called "race".

Race isn't biological, but racism is still real-race is a powerful idea that provides access different people in different ways in the aspects of resources and opportunity. Our government provides the white with all the advantages which some where affects us although we are aware of it or not.

Colorblindness will not end racism – When we pretend that race doesn’t exist the isn’t the same as creating equality. We need to identify social political practice of some institution which advantages some groups at the cost of others.


Finally it can be said that over all what we say that race doesn’t exist or we don’t believe is race isn’t doing to result anything until we realize the truth accept it and work hard to overcome it.

The Allegory of the cave is is basically an imagined scenario 


narrated by Plato during his time.The main idea of this 


scenario is that what human beings thinks as reality in this 


world isn't the real truth.There is always a truth hidden in the


shadows of walls.In this scenario some people are imagined 


to be chained up in such a way that they can't move their


 heads.They are seat to see a projector like a wall size.The 


shadows are so close that they take them as real.If one of the 


prisoner gets chance to get out from this chained world and is


 held to face the sunlight then, he will be thinking that this is 


the source of all the things.For the reflections, for the years to


 come and pass away.If this prisoner goes back to his fellow 


mates and describes what he saw, then they will be thinking


 him as crazy because for them the reality is with in the 


boundaries. If you are locked in a room from reality all you 


know are the things you can see and what is around you but 


there  are things beyond the room.When you start asking 


questions you get more curious and want to know and that’s 


when you will escape the chains and will look beyond the


 walls. There will be new experiences in life where you are 


chained but it is your decision if you want to leave that closed


 in reality.

Blog Entry 01 "The Cave and I"

The word reality is the most complex word ever. What is reality? The things you are shown or the things you believe. For some reality is what they are said to be truth like the kids, and for others reality is what they can see by themselves like adults. With the change of stages from childhood to adulthood we keep on exploring things and gaining knowledge. When I compare my life with Socrates point of view regarding reality, I see myself still struggling to go beyond the boundaries. In my this stage, I am still learning and gaining knowledge. But people should always try to face the sun and to see the real truth hidden in it.

             '' In the allegory of the cave'' Socrates while explaining the reality, stated about an imaginary scenario of some people as chained. They are shown shadows of objects which they take as real. They never tried to think about the truth beyond of this shadows. The kids are exactly like this chain people. They believe what their parents say to them. Like one of them was me. My mom use to tell me about fairies, that if I behave nicely and be a good girl than one day fairy will come and give me a wonderful gift and will be taking me to her fairy land.


               It is said that if you lie for something good than the Almighty never punishes you for that lie. Like this my mom even lied to me, by creating an excitement in myself of meeting a fairy and to travel with her to the fairy land. That was the most beautiful lie ever in my life.  


             After reading the ''Allegory of Cave'' I made my mind to go beyond the boundaries of this shadow and to face the real truth i.e. the sun. But sometimes it makes me scared to think about the reality. Because reality is always bitter for people to accept as it hurts a lot.
