This
week in class, we learned a lot of new information on Socrates and Ancient
Greece. One of the highlights was definitely how Socrates died, and what he
left behind him. Socrates died guilty of teaching what didn't seem the right
Gods and corrupting the youth of Athens. Later on he was found innocent.
What makes him a hero or legend, is that he was willing to go down knowing that
he did nothing wrong. The people would understand later that he was right in
what he taught and what he believed. A famous quote of his (that is still
popular today) states, "An unexamined life is not worth living." This
is such an important lesson that everyone needs to learn. Are you the person
who chooses to leave work everyday, come home, watch TV, and then go to bed?
The kind of person who just wastes their life away? No. We were gifted with the
ability to do things that other creatures can't, so why waste it? We should be
abusing that gift. This is what Socrates intended us to get from his quote and
i intend to follow it. Do you? I'm looking forward to learning more on this

It really upset me when my classmates didn't say anything as if it was okay, but then it occurred to me that I wasn't saying anything about the matter either. I soon regretted not speaking my opinions on the matter to create more class discussion. First, I'd like to begin by making my opinions on gay, lesbians, and bi relationships. To me it doesn't matter your religion, or what your parents say on the matter, you can think whatever you want on what is right and wrong to this topic. Your parents shouldn't influence your decision or what the bible says. Also I don't know why people make such a big deal about this as well. It's fine if they don't support it, but they also don't h...
