Delay homework:BLOG ENTRY 6: The Response to "The Allegory of the Cave"

  In the human beings nature,  we cannot ensure that everything we heard, saw or believed in the past is true and good.  But whether it is true or false, the truth only will been proved and seen in the future with an effort by using the world of knowledge.  This is what I learn from the Scorates' claim in the "Allegory of the Cave" republiced by Plato.
  In the "Allegory of the Cave", Scorates describe a story of  a group of prisoners who have been kept in chains and forced to live in a underground den since their childhood.  The group of prisoners never come out of the cave during their life time.  They do not know the reality of the outside of the world.  The only thing they believe that it is true is what they see on the wall in front of them everyday.  After one of them is released from the den, he goes out and first time to see the real world.  He finds out what he saw and believed before is false.  Moreover, he returns to the cave and tries to explained the truth to his friends, but nobpdy understand what he says and even recognize his sound.  Scorates tried to use this story to make us enlighten the view of the prisoners.  Comparing to the experience of the prisoners, I have a special experience which is similar to it. 
  There was a previous time that I believed that if I  was not a virgin girl, I could not have a husband who will love me very much in my life.  It is a special experience which makes me mature and discover a truth that not anything that our parents tell us is true. 
  In China, most old Chinese people think that women must be virgin before their marriage.  And also, Chinese men like to marry with the virgin women.  My parents are one of them who still have this kind of out of fashion thought.  When I was a teenager, my parents often warn me that I must be virgin before my marriage.  They did not allow me to have a relationship with men, because they scared me that I would not have a happy marriage if I slept with a man before my marriage age.  And also, because of their everyday warning I really believed what they said was real.  However, until one day I did a opposite thing which is not my parents' expectation.  My life and my thought is changed.  We never know what will happen or what will not happen in future. And also, I did not know that I would disobey my parents' rule.  I fell in love with a man and slept with him.  Sometimes is hard to stop doing something when the love is coming.  The love blinded my heart so that I disobeyed the rule.  At that time, I really scared the nightmare would be true one day as what my parents told me.  Until I met my fiance, I knew what my parents told me was wrong.  I also found out what I believed before was an illusion.  My fiance told me that he did not care about if I was virgin or not.  He really cares about it is my personality and me.
  Conclusion, if I did not expericed this matter, I would never know the truth.  Sometimes what we saw, heard or believed  maybe not real.  Like me and even the prisoner in "The Allegory of the Cave",  we both experienced similar matters and just looked at the appearance of the objects, and then we believed that they were true.  Both of us did not tried to dig the reality out.   It also states that Scorates' claim is right  The truth only will been proved and seen in the future with an effort by using the world of knowledge.
