This February 2025, several of us are participating in the 30-Day Philosophy Coach4aday Challenge. Each day, we choose a quote or concept from a philosopher, past or present, and share it with others. Participating in this activity is actually sharing wisdom with others. My philosopher choice today is SOCRATES.
It is ironic that I’m writing about Socrates because according to research he never did any. His student Plato did, and his thoughts helped shape Western Philosophy. Plato along with other students wrote about him as a man with integrity and great insight.
As a philosopher he questioned everything around him in Athens which eventually led him to being sentenced to death by drinking hemlock. His crime was corrupting the youth of Athens and disrespecting the Gods of the City.
Philosophy 30-Day Challenge Guidelines
Like previous challenges there are no hard and fast rules to participate. There are a few suggested guidelines
- Identify your choice of philosopher, and, if necessary, offer up a brief bio on that individual.
- If you need help here is a link to some famous philosophers
- Provide the quote or concept that is attributed to this philosopher.
- If sharing with others use the #Coach4adayChallenge
February 22nd-Socrates
My source of inspiration about Socrates came once again from Goodreads
“The unexamined life is not worth living.”
“If you don’t get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don’t want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can’t hold on to it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change. Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is law and no amount of pretending will alter that reality.”
