The Conflict Of Wants And Needs Seen Through The Lens Of Loyalty Charles Caleb Colton once said, “We are sure to be losers when we quarrel with ourselves; it is a civil war, and in all such contentions, triumphs are defeats.” In his quote, the use of an oxymoron and the metaphor, “civil war,” outline the concept that when humans encounter an inner conflict, they must lose some part of themselves in order to achieve something as well. Just as in a real civil war, where two sides of a single nation are pitted against each other, even though one side of the conflict may triumph, the body as a whole is still losing some other part of it. In war, there are casualties and sacrifices from both ends that must inevitably be made no matter what is gained.

Introduction Plato, a famous Greek philosopher wrote the Allegory of the Cave. He tried to answer some of the profound questions which arose about the nature of reality.
