Plato's "Allegory of the Cave"

Dear reader,     
    I agree with Socrates' intended philosphy, it is better to know the realities of the world rather than be ignorant of them. At the very least this is what I think he means, reading this allegory was some what difficult. Ultimately I think Socrates is talking about how people percieve right and wrong based on past experience and what they usually think about. I am not totally sure if this is the right view, but I hope it is close to the truth.

Sincerely,
