socrates

We all have emotions that is part of our human nature. We all have a sense of right
and wrong this is also part of our human nature. Though some say that they do not believe in right and wrong there is only reason and understanding. But they have
contradicted this theory because sometime in their life they have had a curial with someone over something, and the point of a curial is to show that some body is in the wrong. It is just part of our human nature to do so,but over time people have changed the direction of that nature. For instance the great writings of Plutarch he had spoken about how Cesar was walking through the great roman palace and noticed some people walking by with little dogs and cats in there arms. They were loving these animals as if they were their own children. He was troubled by this for they had taking that natural tendency to love and pour affection upon a person, and had directed that instinct to something unworthy of this affection.Socrates was a man who fought for the understanding that we as humans have strayed from the way we should direct our true human nature. He believed that we had taking our natural instincts and used them the wrong way. Like gay marriage, we as men were meant to love women, but some men have taken there natural feeling to love a woman and turned it around and now they love other men. So he fought to defend the true human nature along with many many other things. He also showed how the ugly, like himself were truly beautiful. He would say things like" Some people think my nose is ugly because it flares out, But because it flares out I can smell much better than most people can So it is truly beautiful." He spent all of his life tyring to defend this true human nature.But in the end because of the fall of Athens the people needed Someone to blame for this, so they blamed him. He was caught and sentenced to death by poising. He was truly a man of his convictions, because at his trial instead of tyring to defend himself he criticized the people in power. This did not help anything at all. So he was sentenced to death as I have said. If he could do this for the sake of reason and understanding than we can surly do the same for our faith.
