    Concept of self ( sorcate's) Socrates said seems to that once they know the right thing to do they act accordingly. The concept of self is important because once the person know the self she may then learn how to take care of it. " Ultimate wisdom comes from knowing oneself" the good life being wise and virtuous. For us to attain the good life we need to eximine our life and this is part of our life to eximine our life, eximine one's life is the important task one can undertake for it alone. Yes Socrates said the true self is one that is lived in accordance with knowledge, wisdom,virtue. The true self is the virtuous self.

  • @ccdg1066

    We may never know the answer. The bible was assembled hundreds of years after Socrates. And, did Socrates ever study ancient Hebrew or other ancient civilizations where ideas of evil were discussed? This opens thought to just how old the question of evil really is.

    🌹 Before Christ and Mohammed, There Was Socrates 🌿 We are each very equal gods. We should love and respect ourselves with all of our heart, might, mind, and soul. And because all others are equal gods with us, we must love and respect all others like we do ourselves. There is no other doctrine or idea upon which any human should operate their conscious existence. 🌿 It is upon this alternative attitude that all laws that govern humans should be established in order to save humanity. Once we respect all others as we do ourselves, we will not allow any of us to live in poverty and inequality. 🌿 This is what Socrates knew. It was one of his main teachings by which he was accused of corrupting the youth. Socrates taught that there is no other person, nor any other life form, as important as each human person. 🌿 We refer to each person as an eternal advanced human that can not be destroyed. Each person can refer to their higherself, to the part of them that makes them human and different from all other life forms, as one's "True Self." Our True Selves (our true natures) exist in a dimension of time and space that has no beginning and no end. We exist with other human beings of the same eternal nature and standing. 🌿 When we die, or once we experience a mortal death, we will immediately be aware that the same type of social interactions we enjoy here on Earth, exist there, only they will be coupled with an eternal glory. An "eternal glory" is the "glory of any god, which is intelligence, or in other words, light and truth"-ie., the Real Truth™ that all gods know. 🌿 Each human being, each one of you, is as intelligent as any other human being. You are gods, each and every one of you, equally and separately. There is no god above or below any of you. Each of you made a choice about belonging to a GROUP of humans in which you could have new experiences and through which you could seek joy. 🌿 Youth, this world, which includes your family and friends, has been deceived and is being controlled by powers that do not know what they are doing. Some of these powers have set themselves up and convinced your family and friends that God speaks to them. 🌿 So, if you embrace this new attitude and see yourself as an individual person equal with God, but your family and friends do not, you will be mocked, scourged, cast out, and disowned by them. Your belief that you are a god will threaten their belief that you are not, and that they are not. How can they accept this? If they do, then their religious leaders are ordinary, just like them. If their religious leaders are just like them, then God can just as easily speak to them as God does to their leaders. 🌿 Their pride will not allow them to accept that they have been deceived. Everything that they "know" gives them value and places them above others. They cannot see that everything they have been taught about God is false and, even worse, that these things are actually a "great abomination and wickedness." 🌿 Recognizing that you are an equal god with everyone else, you will begin to see the power that you have to act and be acted upon. But they, believing that someone else has power over them, will not act or allow themselves to be acted upon, except when they are commanded by someone else. 🌿 The essence of your True God, your true power, comes from your ability to do what you feel is best for you--what makes you happy. There is no other way that a person's brain can properly function towards the end for which the brain exists--to serve the needs of the individual by providing joy. If your brain is being influenced or powered by an outside source, you will never reach your potential and personal power over your own life. Your brain must be dependent upon and receive power from itself (from one's "True God") in order for you to reach and maintain the energy level of equilibrium that creates a physical feeling a mortal recognizes as joy. (One day we know that science will also be able to explain this.) 🌿 When a person acts according to the power of the person's own brain, peace is felt. And when the person uses their brain to "walk peaceably with the children of men," it means that what the one is doing creates peace for the person themselves, and for the ones with whom the person desires to "walk." 🌿 There is no true joy when one tells another what to do, especially when one forces another to do something (to act or be acted upon) that one does not want to do. 🌿 It is this joythat all humans search for, in what they do, in how they act, and in how they allow themselves to be acted upon. In order to have a "peaceable walk" with others, one must be doing what one wants, and one must allow others to do what they want. This is good. But when a person forces another to act, this force takes away another's peace and is not good. 🌿 To understand the way to "peace and salvation," one need only to observe a little child. A little child is at peace when the child does what the child wants, being the child's own god. If allowed to be a little child, the flesh obeys the will of the spirit in all things. The little child knows no other god, no other power, than their own. 🌿 Human beings should be like little children-always. The difference between the state of peace in which a little child exists and the state in which mortals currently live upon Earth is in the inability of the person to exercise unconditional free will-the inability of the flesh to do the will of the brain. This creates a state of a "hell which hath no end." 🌿
