"If you need success as badly as you need air, you'll get it." - Socrates

[@HandyMan-p3t]

Interesting you say that, because Mark 18:16 made a vague inference to the Greeks by saying if you drink poison you won't die. Because he knew that it would raise (pardon the pun) thoughts of Socrates whom they could relate to.

[@Tylergilmour857]

What I find difficult to deal with is that when I hear what he said i've already thought it before hearing it but he was born 1000 years before me, it makes me think the greats aren't actually that great, they were just first to get the chance to do it

[@funtuber9155]

That means you naturally have the talented to do much much more.Just read or hear books to learn as much the current world knows and maybe you might be the next one to add something truly “new”. If you are not able to, then be humble that these guys naturally were ahead of the curve at that time, and hence, became Great.

[@cristhianramirez6939]

You are not as smart as you believe

[@jos0807]

What a great story of Socrates😁👏❤

[@Chrono-Curator]

A truly fascinating story

[@richewilson6394]

I was just thinking about it today about how everybody wants to be the big strong guy or smartest guy something of that nature but I guess I've always admired people that are the old wise characters in a story. Because they seem to know a lot more than what we think. Intelligence is different from wisdom, wisdom you have to gain through experience versus intelligence which is a set of rules and already existing information.

[@moderntrends.]

Knowing more made him realize he knew nothing.

[@mariazamora4595]

I know that i know nothing: Wisdom The more you know the less you know Wisdom and knowledge: humility and virtue.

To ponder is to consider, to think is to process, to learn is to become enlightened. To become aware, is to become empowered. That is the truth of metaphysics.

Wisdom comes with aging and the ability to shut up, listen and observe

[@GrowingUpIndian]

I totally agree with you 😊👌☑️

[@Kane-ib5sn]

it is better to be just, than unjust, because, a society bent on justice, assumes two things; the individual takes responsibility first, and society takes responsibility, after the individual falters. what this means with a micro-scope, is that our actions are never for the purpose of ourselves, alone. to do so, is unjust or unfair. but, to coordinate our actions in sync with society, is the most just-action possible.

[@PILOSOPAUL]

Honest question, do you believe in what Socraes says or at least upholds that his philsophy, cocnerned with alignment with the truth and separation from lies, is a good philosophy?

[@Chrono-Curator]

I kinda wanted to ask the same, but unsure how to word it; so thanks :D

[@HandyMan-p3t]

He was actually given a choice to either leave town or die, from which he chose the latter. His reasoning was that he preferred dying in his hometown and that he would be persecuted elsewhere too.

[@HandyMan-p3t]

Would've liked to have Socrates go and meet Herodotus, or the other way around, so to challenge his biases about historical accounts and references.

[Bill and Ted are in Ancient Greece] Bill: [approaching Socrates] How's it going? I'm Bill, this is Ted. We're from the future. Socrates: Socrates. Ted: [whispering to Bill] Now what? Bill: I dunno. Philosophize with him! Ted: [clears his throat, to Socrates] "All we are is dust in the wind," dude. [Socrates gives them a blank stare] Bill: [scoops up a pile of dust from the basin before them and lets it run out of his hand] Dust. [he blows the remainder away] Bill: Wind. Ted: [points at Socrates] Dude. Socrates: [Socrates gasps] Yes! "Like the sands of the hourglass, so are the Days of our Lives..."

[@abstraction6212]

Well I didn't expect socretes was a perfect man on a petistal. He knew he was imperfect and people would have critcisms of how he thinks. The best parts that he teaches, I follow him. The bad parts I'd leave aside. Plus he's a way better thinker than most people of today.

[@cromcccxvi3787]

I wonder if "changing ones mind" when faced by reasonable arguments was always viewed as "weakness" as it is today?

[@9Ballr]

How could Socrates know that he knew nothing if he knew nothing?

Haha, checkmate!

[@Aaron_1112]

Because he knew nothing

[@Noct_sight]

He said the only thing that he knows is that he knows nothing. So he says that he knows one thing only.

I think he's too cerebral and attached to logical thinking to be able to appreciate Taoism. The first verse of the Daodejing alone would utterly stymie him. Can you imagine him trying to get Lao zi or Zhuangzi to pin down an exact definition of the Tao?

Demon comes from Daimon which is a spirit guide. Its a intermediary entity that works with humans in relation to the gods and nature. Sadly christianity has warped everything from its actual meaning into something ridiculous.
