Bill Murray meets PLato

Same thing day in and day out, trying to figure out if it’s true, if it’s a dream and if not why are you stuck in this repetition. Phil, while more of an ass then I hope I am, still shares the same feeling about doing something that doesn’t make you happy as I do. While for the movie the concept was one day, I speak more about a life time, and to bring it into full circle with Plato our lifetimes split in two; Our reality and our perceived reality, in other words what we see and the availability of the MORE, the truth of not just the world but ourselves. For some the world we are stuck in is school, for others their neighborhood surroundings and for others still it can be the pitch black of their set ways. Whatever the day, week, moment, lifetime is that we keep repeating it takes a spark in order for us to escape that and actually see reality for what it is. The more we tell ourselves this is a horrible circumstance the more the situation beats your soul. The same can be said if we see the mundane and everyday as a reason to exploit the situation. Its hard to imagine how one could exploit something he or she finds terrible, but examples of people taking advantage at work, the kindness of others and even classmates is not hard to think up in our own lives or stories we have heard. Plato would say we all live in this fake reality, this cave shrouded in false truths, and as I am reading it and putting Platos words in the context of Bill Murray’s movie, our egos, our perceptions and overall our outlooks when not consistent with the true self, the true reality and the outside world will afford for us to do no more then relive the same days and make it much more difficult to see tomorrow
