  Here is a very good analogy for why people do not understand.

  You can not tell anything to someone still in the cave -

    Reminds me of a story I wrote around when I first woke up

     

    Ethan Bristow February 27, 2010 at 8:10pm  

    Some were in the world there was an old cow farm. On this cow farm there were 100s of cows and all they did all day everyday was eat brown grass and never bothered to look up. They were very rude and always snapping at eachother about who gets curtain patches of brown grass. Each and every cow was born and raised on this farm so beyond the stone walls that surrounded them was unknown. But then there was one cow named Cloey. She was a litte more curious then the others and would look around sometimes for somthing else rather then the same old brown grass. One day in her curiosity she came to a mushroom. Being a natural adventurer she didnt hesitate to gobble it up. Not thinking much of it she went on eating brown grass. But then suddenly she was bumbarded with thoughts. Not the everyday thoughts of eating brown grass but thoughts of existence beyond the walls of the cow farm. She immidiatly picked her head up from the ground and looked up at the sky. So many wonders were rushing through her head, she had to get away from the others. She walked off to part of the farm rarely ventured. And to her amazment the old rock wall was collapsed. A tree must have been blown over from the storm the other night. She slowly in aw walked through the opening with the devine site of never ending roling hills and lush green grass. Cloey had not known or even dreamed of such a wonderfull place. She began to eat the green grass. It was sooo good and limitless. A few hours went by and she thought to her self.I have to show all the other cows this. This is so amazing and wonderful. So she darted back into the farm. Expecting the cows to be excited for her find she began to speek o fher find They all thought she was crazy. They didnt even bother to rais their heads from the ground to stop munching on their brown grass. Why should they care? they are content with their brown grass. Its all they have ever known after all. So she sadly went back to her green grass. She hung around for a few days, going back and forth from her paradise to the farm. Eventually the gloom of the rest was just to much for her and she knew she had to venture and find her special place. She set off over the rolling hills. She just kept walking and walking. For weeks she traveled looking for her place. One day she was came to a valey full spring flowers and a clean river with large snow crested mountains in the distance. She approched the sparkling stream to take a sip. As she put her lips to the ater she heard an noise next to her. Naturally she quickly looked at the source of the noise to see a large buffalo. Then she relised they were all around her.Compared to her old heard all of them looked so happy and healthy. Intiminated she didnt talk to any of them. She just sat and watched them. They were just all so happy and showed eachother so much love and care. A younger buffalo came up to her and said you look strange. Cloey responded. Im not from around here. The buffaloe said well were are you from. She said.I honestly don't know.The buffalo said Well it doesnt matter, I can see your alone, you can stay with us. And from that day everyday was a blissful day. And cloey never had to eat brown grass again.

      Great post!

       

      "Cloey, The Curious Cow" is now my favorite children's story.  A book where being curious, not following the herd and asking "Why" is rewarded with bliss - instead of trouble as that monkey, George often received.
