The reality behind alcohol or drugs
Plato's allegory of the cave is one of the best-known, most insightful attempts to
explain the nature of reality. The cave represents the state of most human beings, and the tale of a dramatic exit from the cave is the source of true understanding. Plato’s allegory is a powerful metaphor for contemplating a divide between ignorance and enlightenment or between the “visible” world and the “intelligible” realm. Plato’s allegory can be much related to our modern life. Most people use alcohol or drugs in order to change their mental and emotional status. Those who drank or used drugs to numb feelings or avoid painful memories can be linked to the prisoners in the cave. Those prisoners would mistake appearance for reality. They would think the things they see on the wall (the shadows) were real; they would know nothing of the real causes of the shadows.
However, those who drank or used drugs are away of the truth. The prisoners are ignorant of the truth, because they accept what they see only. They only see the shadows of the truth. They never realized the truth that what perhaps started as fun and harmless use begins to grow troubling, painful and difficult to stop. Those who drank or used drugs never see the truth and the negative effects of alcohol or drug.
