My God, I saw this phlosophical allegory before and I miss-understood it; now, I see clearly what Plato/Socrates/etc. tried to tell. Plato main phlosphy was: Men=ideas. Ideas must be followed by action. Many people prefer (?) to be in the obscure/shadows mind, because it is not 'easy' to be out; sometimes due to the environment, but most due to the people who wants us to be in total ignorance (it's most easy to be domain them)
