The moral of the story is that there's more to life than the physical world that the "seeing is believing" idea is false thats as close as i can get to it's true meaning as i can.
Plato's allegory reflects modern society today. Today people are blinded more than ever in what they percieve as 'real'. American society is still chained to the floor. Take a look at what is popular, none of it matters, money (based on gold, a mere rock) entertainment (false ideas), the 'american dream' ( another fase creation by the pupeteers) The more you look, the more you will see we have all been decieved.
@jscanyon i think its more about how you are chained to your perception of reality and pay attention solely to the external world when it is the internal state of being that you are actually seeing (your own shadow). But the society comparison works as well
This also reflects the human process of discovery and influence of man to other man. It describes the philosopher's dilemma, i think.
