I am of the belief that the allegory of the cave is true to life from Socrates view point. I also believe it is like a sign post left by socrates from when he was leaving the cave or when he entered back into it. He left it in the best way he could. To notice it is the beginning, to understand it is the next step than to follow it is something elce intirely. I am of the belief if one can understand it and than onesself in no necessary order one can leave the cave without being "dragged" out but by ones own to feet conducting business on the way. Believe me its all real.
Now if it were up to me id go back into the cave, id sit in my own chair until i got my night vision back, than id strike up a few conversations, maby than relax on the floor. I would try to bring down some fire so i could show my buddies i could disrupt the shadows. When i wanted to leave id ask anyone if they wanted to come with.
But hey thats just me.
