[Quote No.51359] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[A story - with a message about skepticism: Because appearances, especially first impressions, can be deceptive it is important to be skeptical in order to arrive at Truth.] Plato's Analogy or Parable of the Cave ...Socrates describes a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall by things passing in front of a fire behind them, and begin to ascribe forms to these shadows. According to Socrates, the shadows are as close as the prisoners get to viewing reality. He then explains how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall are not constitutive of reality at all, as he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the mere shadows seen by the prisoners. " - Plato
The Parable of the Cave – is an allegory used by the Greek philosopher Plato in his work 'The Republic'. It is written as a fictional dialogue between Plato's teacher Socrates and Plato's brother Glaucon at the beginning of Book VII (chapter IX in Robin Waterfield's translation) (514a–520a). [Refer https://www.princeton.edu/~achaney/tmve/wiki100k/docs/Allegory_of_the_cave.html ]

[Quote No.29169] Need Area: Money > Spend
"[To control spending and live happily on a budget, which all financially wise people do, requires a person to reduce their desire for expensive things. Contrary to what advertising keeps trying to tell you, expensive things will not make you happier or more respected. It is important if you ever want to be financially secure to be highly sceptical of all advertising, which is designed to make you feel dissatisfied with what you have. Every time you see an ad seriously question whether the benefits would really be there and most importantly worth the cost for you. Also deliberately take the time to be grateful for what you already have - so rather than think how it could be better, be grateful it is not worse. And remember, in this regard 'less is more' for]...those who have the greatest desires are in a worse condition than those who have none or very slight ones." - Plato
Ancient Greek philosopher. From his work, 'Eryxias'
