The Allegory Of The Cave
Plato states that slaves who have been chained up in an underground cave all their lives, can only adapt to their environment, which in this case are shadows and echoes of unfamiliar objects. When a former prisoner is released, He discovers a new world beyond the realms of the cave. Filled with joy and excitement he feels the urge to share his new experience with the prisoners in the underground cave. But when he tries to go back, the prisoners don't recognize him or his voice, to them he is just another shadow of unfamiliar objects.
