From The Archives : Plato On Truth

.
“Most people, including ourselves, live in a world of relative ignorance. We are even comfortable with that ignorance .. When we first start facing truth, the process may be frightening, and many people run back to their old lives .. It’s true that many people around you now may think you are weird or even a danger to society, but you don’t care. Once you’ve tasted the truth, you won’t ever want to go back to being ignorant!”
— Plato (The Republic)427-347 bc
