    projected on the wall = opinions‚ illusions. -The wall = the material world seen by us. -Ideas are the basis of reality and not the material world. The most important thing you can do is: ’ Know thyself’‚ practice self-reflection‚ learn more about yourself than what you believe you are. Here I will go further: The material world is largely an illusion‚ it is always changing. By just looking at it‚ one cannot learn anything.  There is also another world: an eternal world of ideas.

    “The Allegory of the Cave” The Allegory of the Cave can be broken down in many ways.
