A person who I would like to talk to…


One of the people that I’d like to meet with or talk to is definitely Plato. I’d like to talk to him because I believe he was such an inspiring model for thinking and knowledge. Also, because when I knew him through Philosophy I thought that he was a very intelligent person and I have to recognize that I fell in love with his books and his way of thinking. Although, many people today think that to have studied his thoughts on “the immortality of souls”, “the Republic”, or the very famous but unknowing in meaning “Cave Allegory”, they were a waste of time at all. However, in my personal opinion, his philosophy has been a huge influence in culture and way of thinking through history.

Well, I’d like to talk about how he reached that level of thinking. Also, where did he get their inspiration from and that if he can explain to me what the true meaning behind the Cave Allegory was. Moreover, I’d like to tell him about our current lives and our poor (not in general) exercises on Spirituality. I think in some way we have lost that part of our lives and that is why I’d like if he could give me some kind of advice in order to see things clearer and maybe enlighten myself.

I agree with you I would like to know this intelligent person but my problem with him is during his time he thought that women were less intelligent than men. and He was WRONG!!!!
