Blog 2 (Your Reality)

:Reality Bites:
I feel that what Socrates was saying is that your reality is what you make of it. For example I’m sure that everyone has heard or has even said themselves that “rich people don’t live in the real world because they don’t know what goes on out in the streets”. My thing is if your rich and you like your life and the surrounds that you have, and the people that you associate with then you are living in the “real world” as you see it. Same goes for people who live in the streets, or who are on welfare and or dealing with baby daddy number three. That’s your world, that’s your life how you seem fit. Now if you live in a life of luxury, and you know that it’s not meant for you and you don’t change it then you are living in the life of reality , but it’s not your reality. If you live in a life of poverty and you know you can do better, you feel you should be doing something better then you too are living in a reality that is not yours. If your not going to step up to the plate and say your are not meant to be here in this life style may it be good or bad then you are right where you deserve to be which is nowhere.

Now I’ll be honest I have never read the whole book in any of it’s titles, or never really heard about it, honestly I don’t intend to read it or really care about it in any shape of form so I could be really wrong in my take on what Socrates meant, but judging from the synopsis I was giving it sounded as though they never really tried to break free. It sounded like they settled or gave up before the even began. Do they deserve to be set free…absolutely not because they just excepted what was giving to them, they where comfortable not know what else is there to life. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but you can’t get upset because your not able to be involved of the things and opportunities of others if your not willing to at the very least ask for help. You can’t expect people to help you if your not willing to help yourself.
