I think every one should read it, think on it, then read it again. These are words (sometimes difficult to follow) that still hold truth in our modern age of "knowledge" and "enlightenment". |

---------- [Socrates] AND NOW, I SAID, let me show in a figure how far our nature is enlightened or unenlightened: BEHOLD! HUMAN BEINGS living in an underground den, which has a mouth open toward 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. Above and behind them a fire is blazing at a distance, and between the fire and the prisoners there is a raised way; and you will see, if you look, a low wall built along the way, like the screen which marionette? players have in front of them, over which they show the puppets. [Glaucon] I see. [Socrates] AND DO YOU SEE, I said, men passing along the wall carrying all sorts of vessels, and statues and figures of animals made of wood and stone and various materials, which appear over the wall? Some of them are talking, others silent. [Glaucon] YOU HAVE SHOWN ME a strange image, and they are strange prisoners. [Socrates] 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? [Glaucon] TRUE, HE SAID; how could they see anything but the shadows if they were never allowed to move their heads? ---------- ... This is long.

Answer carefully becouse I have the ultamite can of worms that I have wanted to pop the lid open on in this forum. Maybe I should just leave this one alone? Um? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif |
Re: Psychology NOT religion
OK, I say that humans are for the most part NOT xenophobic.
...what is this can of worms you mentioned? |
