Plato

In the article the allergory of the cave i think that Plato is trying to say that people look at things in a different light for the example the glass is half empty opposed to the glass is half full. I think that when people play some of these video games it tries to show a life that they want to live they want to some on the front line first in to battle etc. Of course it is possible to change our understandings and our belifs but it is not allways the easiest thing to do, sometimes it can cause pain to an individual. However that small pain might result in a greater good. Referring to the second extract, the slave prefers the new life style that he discovers and in Heine sight it is something he wishes he had done earlier. Everyone alive has a say about the actions we make in our lives, but it is how we react in each situation that determines who we are as people.
