7 Thought-Provoking Lessons From Socrates, That Will Show You A Better Way Of Living
A better way to improve your life if you follow these lessons from Socrates. Socrates was a Greek philosopher, an enigmatic genius- A genius who gave a whole new norm to the Western philosophy.
The standard set by him, his critical reasoning, his view on life and surrounding made him an admirable inspiration to many who came across his teachings, and also had accusers who eventually put him to trial and execution.
Socrates lived an impoverished life. Despite being such a significant figure in philosophy, he never left a word about himself. Although we know little about his life except for the information recorded by his students, including Plato, what we do know makes it clear that he had a unique and powerful philosophy and personality.
Although we live in a world that is different from Socrates time and may be the life we live is much different now but he had to say then still applies on our conquest to get a peaceful and happier life.
1. The only true wisdom is knowing that you know nothing.
You can’t learn anything if you think you know it already if you believe you are an expert already and there is nothing more left to learn then you really will have nothing to learn.
Open your mind, realize that you might be wrong or mistaken, and you may be ready to learn. Additionally, no matter how much you know, there is a nearly infinite amount of stuff that you don’t know.
You will come across various people in your life with different experience and knowledge sets, you will meet an industrialist and a beggar on the same day, and you must be curious to learn from both and try and understand the problems of both the people and solve their problems accordingly.
2. Strong minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, weak minds discuss people.
Gossiping and engaging in small talk which is not productive and leads you nowhere are works of smaller minds, stronger minds discuss ideas which hold power to introduce change for the betterment of one and all.
My favorite quote from ‘V for Vendetta’ sums it up perfectly.
“Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason, and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgotten… But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like?
