People need to be good and work hard to get ahead. But if they are and do, they should not be held back.

The argument could be made, not that I concur with my fore-poster, that they (if we set aside that they are in chains or assume the chains to be inflicted on themselves) are responsible for their own demise.
If I recollect correctly Plato also considered that they may even kill the truth-teller for telling the truth after he saw the light, just because they do not believe him and think he's crazy.
That's quite heavy, I reckon, for how do you want to help them without showing them the truth and not letting them live a lie? As to someone who has seen the light it is obviously a must to lead the non-seeing onto the right path.
