More from Spilaio_Fylakismeno

It's a commission done by talented and kind Eva^ ^ (www.deviantart.com/x-c…)
In Plato's Allegory of the Cave, σπήλαιο φυλακισμένο(Spilaio Fylakismeno) is the prisoner who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them, and give names to these shadows. The shadows are the prisoners' reality. Socrates explains how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall are not reality at all, for he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the manufactured reality that is the shadows seen by the prisoners.
I give this name to express the helplessness in the process of knowing the world and hope that I could always understand that I am ignorant.
You can take this dragon as the inside of me. Since that, please don't use it in other ways, thank you.

Thanks for the very first comment to me on this site, and you are the first one I have a talk with here^ ^
Sometimes, I think that it's all people's reality, in fact. Although some prisoners might be freed from the cave and see the outside world, who can guarantee that it's not the shadow of other things that beyond their perception by now? We are always the prisoners, in a never end moving from a smaller cave to a bigger one.

ah really? thats nice! makes me happy too and i can be very shy and reserved to start a conversation actually!
Hope you enjoy here! I always say this website is cursed because i see some weirdddd stuff here but i figured it out its more of a matter of staying and watching who/what you like and interest most and should be oke.. but my.. I'm glad i have a very much chill and don't mind many stuff
this for me defines pretty much a human vision of the word..its hard to "escape" from many things..even be yourself.. well that mainly includes the "escaping" part O.O
