Graham n Diandra's def of JOY!!

"What is Joy? What is it that make us feel Joy? I think that Joy is the ability to be happy and have fun. To be able to find happiness in everything and exploit it for everyone and everything. Your personal happiness in an excited state."-Graham

"What is joy?? Joy is when you feel like nothing can go wrong. There are no problems or worries in the world. Being surrounded by all the people that love you. Being able to be yourself. Joy is ....happiness... joy is .... freedom. It sounds cliche, but I am the most joyful when I am surrounded by my friends and just having a good time. Even seeing a smile on a strangers face spreads another smile on someone elses face. I think the best way to express joy is from my pictures and how people bring joy to my life."- Myself

Graham+Myself= Joy is having fun and just being happy. Personal happiness through friendships and experiences.

The Allegory of the Cave

In “Allegory of the Cave” by Plato, prisoners have been chained since birth within a cave. Their bodies including their heads are immobilized by chains in order for them to have their direction of viewing fixed upon the wall in front of them. The guards of the cave show them puppets of animals and plants on which they cast shadows upon the wall for their viewing. The prisoners learn the sound of animals though the sounds that the guards create. With them being captive there for so long, they do not know that they are prisoners, they do not know how a certain animal feels or sounds like, and all in all they do not know what a flower smells like. With the shadows and sounds of the guards, the prisoners rely on that to be their only reality.
“The Allegory of the Cave” can be related to our society today by the movie The Matrix. In the movie, it takes place in the future year 2199, where the reality that we know is actually seen as the Matrix. The world was created by machines in order to create an illusion for humans in order to use their bodies’ heat and activity as an energy source. Just like “Allegory of the Cave”, the “prisoners” know nothing of what is really out there. All they know is what a higher being wants them to believe in just like the humans in the Matrix.
