Unsatisfactory It Is To Neglect The Truth
I am an avid fan of Socrates although I was disappointed at the end; I understand however that this is to be for my own reflection, and speculation, but truly Socrates going off to be executed saddens me that a man so close to leading us to the truth could never quite get us there, though he imparted the tools if we are willing to apply them.
