Replying to a comment on:

Plato (Free verse) by not_a_philosopher

what is the point of reading Plato, your allegory, the one on the cave, I must say it is pointless. it doesn't do anyone any good, you know. it doesn't tell me how to know if I'm in a cave it doesn't tell me how to know if someone is crazy or if they have seen the truth, it doesn't tell me how to find the world of light. all it tells me is that we might all be in a cave staring at shadows on a wall, and frankly, what use are any of his dialouges anyway, because if I ever find out that I am in a cave then what have I learend besides Plato was right and poets are stupid.

The fact that you claim to know one of my needs shows how closed minded you are.
