Allegory of the cave-- Plato's cave. Describing a group of people who lived in a cave and been chained to the wall. their only facing the blank wall with the shadow projecting on the wall. To these people, they just believe in what they have been transfused in what they seen on the wall. They don't realize the truth behind the shadow. Then Plato's socrates describe this group of people is like "prisoner", he explained the when the prisoner freed from the cave and came to understand what that they seen and known in the cave is not reality is just a shadow of the truth.
The people who freed, will get out from the cave and explore to the world with real sunlight. There are two possibility, one will stand up and face the true world that he doesn't know at all. but the another possibility will be the one who freed from the cave would believe that the shadow on the wall is more real than the what he sees from the outside world. For me, Plato's cave is just like a comfort zone, people attempt to stay at this comfort zone rather than get out from here and face the reality that he might  totally unfamiliar with it.
