Some men have been locked inside a cave since they were children and do not perceive any other reality. Time passes and they see only their shadow on the walls, which is produced by a bonfire.
They perceive neither the bonfire nor the chains around their necks, hands and feet, nor what is in the outside world. These men could be any of us, understanding the world in our own way.
Unos hombres se encuentran encerrados dentro de una cueva desde niños y no perciben otra realidad. El tiempo transcurre y miran solo su sombra en las paredes, que es producida por una hoguera.
No perciben la hoguera ni las cadenas que tienen en el cuello, las manos y los pies, ni lo que está en el mundo exterior. Estos hombres podemos ser cualquiera de nosotros, entendiendo el mundo a nuestra manera.
This metaphor was included by Plato in his text The Republic, being relevant in the field of philosophy for what it implies at a pedagogical and cultural level. Knowledge is acquired by going out of the cave, breaking chains and looking towards the horizon, towards the sunlight.
Esta metáfora fue incluida por Platón en su texto La República, siendo relevante en el campo de la filosofía por lo que implica a nivel pedagógico y cultural. El conocimiento se adquiere saliendo de esa la caverna, rompiendo cadenas y viendo hacia el horizonte, hacia la luz del sol.
That is what this man and this woman are thinking about in these present times when they see this cave.
En eso es lo que estan pensando ese hombre y esa mujer en estos tiempos actuales al ver esta cueva.

Excelente el mensaje, aunque en la época actual somos prisioneros de los medios de comunicación, tratando de que tengamos un pensamiento único.
Es importante buscar información, ver las diferentes ópticas para así formar una opinión
suerte hermano
It takes energy and courage to break the chains and leave the cave. Many people live their lives in such darkness. An expressive collage, and text.
Good luck this week!
Thank you for commenting, many people out of fear do not leave their comfort zone, thus missing out on many important things in their lives.
I was wondering if you were inspired by Plato's cave. Nicely done, I was thinking the same when I immediately saw your image.
When I was making the collage I thought that many of my colleagues were thinking the same thing. This famous myth of philosophy immediately came to my mind! We should not believe that there is only what we are used to see! Thank you very much for stopping by. Greetings.
The allegory of the cave is the big idea I'll always remember from his work. Not everything is at it seems indeed.
