Thoughts

These are just some things that I would like to point out that I thought were interesting.

1. So Socrates goes on and on about how he wants to banish poets from the city because they'll corrupt the soul of the innocent. But then, after all of that, he feels bad for banishing them and says that he would let them back in if someone came to their defense. Umm, so why does he want to banish them in the first place if he's going to feel bad about it and eventually let them back in?

2. The myth of Er.... While reading this I decided that if I had to choose, I would become a manatee! :}

3. And lastly, the last point that Mashburn brought up was: What obligations do I have to the city? Do I stay here or go back and get people? And he also talked about how if we went back down in the cave after being on the surface that we could corrupt the system down there.
          Well I think that the ethical thing to do is to go back down and get people, but then how would I know that's what I needed to do? I've been stuck in a cave my whole life. And if I was an evil genius that I would definitely corrupt the system down there! Mwahahaha >:}.

I commented on Treya's.

  1. I agree with you Olivia, if you have a knowledge that others dont then you should tell them about it. Its kind of like sharing the gospel. There alot who are living in darkness because they dont know about Jesus, the light. We must share it with them.
