Thinking Outside The Box

Plato and Sartre describe the limitations of our think by showing the natural limitations we place on ourselves. Plato describes how we limit our thinking sometimes to just what we have been taught, or a sistem, or a type of routine in our life. We don't really try to break free from that, or do something outside of the norm, and its when we try to do that, that we become more open minded, and it is as easy as trying, "turning ur head" per say, to break free and become more open minded, or "walking into the light." Sartre compares the difference of pleasures, to what's important in life. They have several characters in a setting of hell. On person says hell is being surrounded by people, but when a male and a female start to kiss, a second female stabs the female kissing, and the door opens up to a bright light. In that he shows that doing something just because you are at the end of your road and doing what you can, or thinking the only way you think possible, doesn't mean that is what u should do. When eliminating that drive to do something that is pleasurable, and realizing that eliminating one cansourous thought, or person, it opens your mind up to new ideas.
