Platos allegory response

I do agree with what Socrates has to say.  After hearing the description of what life was like in the cave it seems like a horrible place to be.  The experiences of the outside world that the cave dwellers are forced to miss would be to overwhelming to give up.  Something such as sun light can often be taken for granted.  I understand Socrates quote;  "Better to be the poor servant of a poor master, and to endure anything, rather than think as they do and live after their manner". Wealth and status truly mean nothing if you are not free.  Those interactions in life with the sun, water, and other earthly creations are what make life worth living.  These experiences are what make us human,  by trapping someone in a cave and depriving them of these basic elements would make life misseable.
