I took a philosophy 101 course, and in that course we read a short story about men trapped being trapped in a cave. The only thing they know exists is their own shadow but one of them gets free and has to make a decision about whether to travel outside of the cave into the unknown or stay in his bubble where he's comfortable. I'm pretty sure I'm summarizing badly, but I want to link my girl to it because we just watched The Truman Show and it made me think of that story.
Only problem is I can't remember who wrote it or what it's called. Could one of you fine gentleman link me if you know the story I'm referring to?

Plato's allegory of the cave.

Thanks mate
This is now a Plato thread if the board doesn't want it to just die

It's fine to just let a thread die. Death begets life.
>>1658252
Where do threads go when they die?
