I Lobe Your Thoughts About Philosophy - Tumblr Posts

Inktober 2018, Day 16, sketch of Medusa from Astoria Fate’s Kiss/Lost Kisses. Sorry Medusa, you’re a sweet lady and I love your taste in rare tea (oolong is my fav too) and passion for books, but Alex Cyprin stole my heart in your route. Uh, so…I kinda’ never finished your Fate’s Kiss story lol…though, I did enjoy season 1 of Lost Kisses a lot! 

Also, I figure since the story is based a lot off Greek mythology, why not have her holding the book of the most influential philosopher in ancient Greece and the Western world? I’m in the progress of finishing the complete works of Plato, pretty much just read a couple stories a day. There’s over 1500 pages so, it’s quite bulky…thank god for Kindle APP. I also have collections of books from other philosophers, it’s like my pocket library! xD

My favorite portion in the book is “Apology” though it makes me depressed sometimes. To summarize it in my own words and thoughts, Socrates was a man who was just doing what he loved to do, teach philosophy. But, he was put on trial because others thought it was corrupt.

“My plainness of speech makes them hate me, and what is their hatred but a proof that I am speaking the truth.” (Socrates, from the Apology)

It’s pretty sad right? It breaks my heart that good people get judged and punished for what they love to do. But, I truly admire Socrates for staying true to his beliefs and not running away from his execution. He continued to teach until his last days before his death, never blaming those who prosecuted him.
