Socrates - 10-17-01

Ah, my love for Socrates will live and burn forever.
He became my favorite when I started reading about him in school.
I was in Senior Humanities and fell in love with his theories of man.
Yes he was homosexual and not very pretty, but he had a mind unlike any other philosopher, I've ever read on about.
If he was still living- I'd worship him every minute of every hour of every day.
Perhaps it seems I have an obssession...I confess, that I names my fish after him. And this fish of mine...is spoiled completely. He is treated like royalty.
May be strange to you- but I love him, he is my fav. And I'm completely fine with everything.

He did died in vain though..


I want to live in a world of peace
Without conflict, like the one I’ve seen in my dreams.
I just can’t keep it inside
I’ve gotta say what I wanna say
Your face doesn’t show your fighting pose.

ehehe.... and Socrates wasnt necessarily gay... like most greek men, he was Bi... the greeks just viewed women as mentally and socially inferior so the ideal relationship was between two men with women there only for procreation...

well, as far as the ancient mediteranean was concerned anyway... hell, asia as well...

dont know about the mesoamericans though...

funny thing is, though, that it was mainly a product of female inferiority thinking... better to love an equal, right? still, i think the so-called 'weaker' sex has my vote for most attractive of the Age...
