    Socratic Discussion of Justice

    Every step we take is wisdom, if we recognize the knowledge we gain from the previous step. I really don't blame you for responding with provocation. This doesn't mean that we must search for that which is to blame. Just that nobody is perfect. Not even those who scribe books. Yes, books are a good learning tool, but they make a poor set of shoes...Have a good day... :)

    Socratic Discussion of Justice

    To answer your last question: I could explain myself, if you are willing to do the same, instead of quoting what you have learned in books. Not that there is anything wrong with books. Just that I posted what I was thinking, or feeling at the moment, based upon the life and death of Socrates, according to what I have also read from books. There is not much that we can go on, as far as his own writings are concerned, but what we can rely upon are those circumstances which brought about his execution. Circumstances which Plato has many times pandered to, in order to save his own neck. Plato does convert the acts of Socrates into his own rendition. Therefore it is a translation. To paraphrase those acts would require the same intention as Socrates, and that is not evident, by the lifestyle of Plato vs that of Socrates. With Socrates, you either jump in the water all the way, or not at all. Plato's toes are wet...Yes books are a great learning tool, but try and put that knowledge to practical application. There's where the real meat and potatoes are. And I'm sorry that you feel the need to criticize my "grammar (or lack thereof)" in order to bolster your dominance in this matter. In the future I'll try to remember that this is not a gaming forum, but that would also be a contradiction. P.S.

    Socratic Discussion of Justice

    Bearing in mind that Plato's translation of Socrates, is based upon his own political perspective, and security for those times. We are forced to respond to Plato, or not. And then I ask, "What justice is it when another man speaks for others, and yet not himself?". I find it highly ironic, to this point, that you should bring Polemarchus' assertion to the forefront. Simple logic has marked history in a vengeful manner, where from to give freely to those you have taken from is true reward for unjust acts. Whether or not we acknowledge such acts, is our own personal experience, which in turn poses another question. "Have we really learned from the mistakes of the past, or will vengeance rule?" P.S. At this point I will pause, for I have a dental appointment to keep..."Ouch!"
