In Plato's "The Allegory of the Cave," Socrates tells a story to his student Glaucon to explains how far our nature is enlightened or unenlightened, from living in a cave to adjusting to the real world. he explains the meaning of life of how people have to adjust to different changes, such as living in a certain place,and  that they will have adapt to new changes. he also tell Galucon that if one is exposed to one life does not mean another life does not live, and that the prison-house is the world of sight, he also says that in the world of knowledge the idea of good appears last of all, and is only seen with effort he basically explain that life has so much to offer and you will only see the good of it if your eye is fixed.
