Even during 429-347 B.C.E. (Plato’s time period), people still perceived reality as what is real and what is just a figment of their imagination. Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” relates to the act that what someone believes as real really isn’t there; that person looks at something else and gives it a name to make objects look familiar. Plato’s point: the general terms of our language are not “names” of the physical object most people can see. They actually become names of things most cannot see, things people can only grasp with the mind. Someone could easily mistake appearance for reality and though this sometimes causes fear, not often that people don’t know what an object seems to be. So a universe becomes based on what people want reality to be and not what’s really there.

Whether it be a rocking chair, high chair, recliner, game chairs, massaging chair, lounge chair, computer chair, barber chair, etc. As Plato stated in his “Allegory of the Cave”, reality is what hits a person’s mind before what actually exists. These unknown objects fill our mind with ideas and perceptions that might not even be real. So even though that nonexistent chair may seem comfy and soft, it’s really what that person thinks they feel.
When a person sits on a chair that person introduces new molecules, atoms and sub-atomic particles to the chair and vice versa. When somebody stands up, both he/she and the chair are left with a piece of one another. Everything in this universe is made up of sub-atomic particle, energy packets. No solid object is actually a solid, each of those making up trillions of packets that vibrate rapidly. I.E., think of a T.V. image. When a person watches a movie, they see somebody walk across the screen smoothly, yet in reality it is just a film reel with at least 24 slightly different frames a minute so your...
