We often think "that does not affect me. I dont care"

Sometimes we get so caught up in our own thoughts and goals that we forget things along the way. We focus so hard on one thing that we completely space out on something that is just as important or we get so stressed that we take it out on thoes closest to us.

People tend to take the easiest route and it takes more effort to disagree than it does to agree.

we get so used to being safe in our own households and with our family, that some tend to get scared of anything outside of that.

People have a tendency to be judgmental of others and voice it which can cause some people to feel disheartened and frightful of others opinions

Fear of putting the noise away. Then you're left with yourself, and you have to face the reality of who you are. I think that scares people because they don't truly know much about the one person they should know best: themselves.

We tend to stick with what others do and conform, so we are afraid to break away because people may judge us

We take for granted a lot of social norms.
Religion is a bit of a cave. An unquestionable answer. Safety and comfort perhaps at the expense of observable truth.

A lack of experience, the idea Plato insinuates to be the world’s best teacher, is the main reason behind why people never leave their cave. Whether that cave be their political ideology, religious beliefs, etc, people fail to learn when they restrict themselves to their ‘caves’ of people that only know as well advice they themselves do.

Some religious ideals are incredibly closed-minded, such as the Amish or Islamic. Some of their practices are incredibly barbaric as it comes to today's standards

Often fills our feeds with things that we are already interested in or believe in. People never get exposed to both sides of many issues because their news source only shows them what they want to see. We don't try to pursue knowledge, we don't question our beliefs.

Ignorance and fear of the unknown/truth. We may take for granted the opportunities we have.

The subject of women's issues are important, but there is a large lack of talk about issues regarding men, and it is simply ignored. Men are 3x more like to commit suicide and 10x more likely to die in a workplace. More issues listed below.

For a long time women have accepted that they will be payed less for the same amount of work and education. This has become a larger issue recently, and women's sports teams, like the US Soccer team, have brought attention to this issue.

We rationalize that we are content with "being in the cave"

# data[].attributes.body
Sexual harassment and assault has become something that is normalized for women in our society. I think as a whole, we just accept that it happens instead of actually working towards solving the problem. We dont necessarily take this for granted but we do turn our heads from it.

When people don't know different, why would they change?

# data[].attributes.body
We all remain in a cave, stuck voting for those who are rich and selecting, voting on party not beliefs. We accept the two party system, the national debt, congressional law (even if it is unjust). We do not try to escape and learn, we accept the situation and do not pursue solutions, as "it's only going to get worse" so why bother.

# data[].attributes.body
Most people don't want to leave their comfort zones, so they stay in their caves. There are many things taken for granted, such as access to food and shelter and clean water. A cave could also be a group of friends, many people don't reach out to new people because they are comfortable in the groups they are in.
