Blog # 5, READER RESPONSE.

One connection between the ideas that Jazmin was writing about and my understanding of Plato's Allegory is that since ancient history, humans have experienced a very strong sense of being "afraid to the unknown".  It happened to prisoners of Socrates fable in Plato's allegory, Ptolemy and Copernicus in Jazmin's examples and to all the other founders of the humanities in their own time. All of them were disregarded, some of them judged and sentenced to death, and all these things happened because it is not easy to open our minds to new ideas that surely are carrying all sorts of new requests of physical and mental efforts.
