Topic > Allegory of the Cave - 708

So I'm a bit of a shy person and I like to put all the pieces together before speaking, I didn't really speak during the discussion instead I sat and listened. Then Mr. Gant raised a question, he said, "Think about this, okay, have you ever actually made your own decision? Like deciding all by yourself, without any outside influence, not even from what you heard on TV, not from what that you heard on TV." what your friend said, not something you heard passing by people, like nothing, just all by itself." This question hit me like a bus, I didn't know what to think, I felt like I had done it but at the same time maybe I not having done so. At that moment the class fell silent, everyone tried to think of a time when they had done something on their own, but in the end there was always a past influence Gant asked us to think about it, see if we can think of a discussion for the next time
