Thinking Outside The Box

Both Plato and Satre created a story that describe limitations to our thinking.  Plato uses a cave and shackles to show how most people's thoughts can be restrained and limited.  Most people believe in something and don't really question it or check to make sure it's correct.  What they think is reality, is actually a representation of what is actually real.  In Satre's "No Exit" he describes a room of three people who are supposed to be in a living hell.  This contradicts the normal hell, that everyone believes to be true.  Even the three people are excepting to be tortured, but their presence is torture enough.  A solution to this thinking would be questioning what is said to be true, and thinking on your own.
