recently i googled Plato's cave, because i never actually read it before, i had no idea what it was about, so i googled it, hoping to be met by a pdf of the story. The first dozen or so results i found were explanations and summary's. I feel like we as human beings have become so scared of having a thought of our own, why is misinterpreting something so scary, why is being wrong, perceived as weakness. Recently i was having a conversation with someone about a band and what genre THEY think they are, the first instinct of the person was to grab their phone and google it. It makes me sick to my core.
I find it very difficult to not have a place that reflects me, people will tell me that I'm home, rarely will I ever feel that way.
