Even years later I continue to talk about these horrors by reading books about the countless wars, tragedies, murders and corruptions hoping that one day the world will learn. Throughout my life onwards there has been a continuous ideal that I have held true to this day. Knowledge is cruel, but not as cruel as man. This idea of world cruelty has been built since I was a child due to my exposure to my surroundings. The books I read, the television I watched, and the talks I heard from my parents all had a significant impact on my view of the world. But what if it wasn't the world at all and instead was my and others' interpretation of the world? In Plato's work The Allegory of the Cave, the characters Socrates and Glaucon discuss the idea of a metaphorical cave where people are only able to see the shadows of objects on a surface
