RE: Motorcycle Travel Series by @velimir 'Wheel of Conformity' (Part #256)

in #travel7 years ago

Last night I watched an interesting film "awakening". Your words reminded me of one of the fragments. Have you heard of Plato's cave? This is a well-known allegory, which is true at all times of human existence.
The essence is ... There was a cave and there were prisoners in it. They saw nothing but shadows cast by the people passing them. Over time, these prisoners were sure that what they see is the truth. When they were told that what they see is just a projection of the real world and shadows - these people did not agree with this. They believed that they are not slaves and see the reality.
This is something reminiscent of a committed people. They find in constant haste. They do not enjoy life and strive for unattainable ideals that they impose on them. That is, many in fact are slaves of the so-called system or matrix. In particular, each person is one little cog in a huge gear. If the screw stops working - it is changed to another one. A large system does not care about individual gears.
But even if to tell them about this no one will take this seriously. Just because people are in the so-called "comfort zone". The state machine of propaganda is called upon to impose non-existent ideals and values.
A good continuation of yesterday's visit to this wonderful place. Thank you
