Allegory of the cave

It is hard to disagree with Socrates intended philosophy  because as the poor servant you serve the master who should know better than you, but as the master is poor his thinking is wrong and his living is wrong. The master is believing in false notions which has made him poor while the servant of the master is just poor but his notions that he is living under is not what makes him poor. The master has made the mistakes, followed false knowledge and now is paying the price for that while the servant can only serve his master and do what he is told. The reality is that the servant can only be a servant but the master can choose to be poor or not or better stated can choose what to believe and how to act upon that as he see's the future with the information that he has.
