If I were in the Socrates' cave, I think that I would be in the stage of a prisoner who is still changed inside the cave. The reason that I think that I'm in this stage is because I can relate where I am right now in the world and being a student for almost all of my life to almost as if I were following a set of rules for this world where all that I know as what life in this world is, is studying. Right now I'm still in this cave but in the future I will be released from this cave to a new world were everything is about working and being on your own. Further more at the conclusion of my experiences in the cave where life was once just studying, The experiences that I will have learned from the working World will seem vague to any one who is in the other world where their prior objective was to study and that is what was expected and coded for that world's civilization. If I were to find myself in a position where I would be able to re-enter studying and explain all the great things of perhaps achieving goals and what its like to not have to study, someone who is world is studying will be lost and just think that you are crazy. For example in the world we live in today adults with children are often hard working parents that have gone through the studying phases of there life to be at where they are now. But if they were to explain what they do and all of their experiences to lets say an 8 year old child who is learning how to do many new things and study, They would probably look at you like you were from another planet and would have no idea what your talking about which would almost be like Socrates' cave where the prisoner that was set free joins the old prisoners, but what the chained prisoners know and believe wouldn't follow up with what the independent or ex prisoner has to tell them that the other world has to offer.
