Argumentative can make things more lively, eh? I might try it.
It’s easy for you to make fun of people who like likes. You get your share.
Socrates is indeed making fun of me too.
I know I should have the Socratic attitude towards likes. But it is hard.
It's terribly hard to be like Socrates. I try and try, but some days I think I should just give up and try to be like Jesus instead.
Hm, you mean beating up innocent money lenders who are just doing their job? Being rude to your mother? Whining that God has forsaken you when you’re part of him and it was your own idea to let yourself being nailed to a cross?
I admit it, I am a bit conflicted about the being-nailed-to-a-cross part. And drinking hemlock has its downside as well. On the other hand, they both have more class than trying to be Elon Musk.
you really brought Socrates to life for me with that review. Jesus was really mad at the money lenders, wasn't he, I don't remember him ever getting quite so mad at anything else
Thank you Alan! And yes, it is odd that so many Americans in the financial services sector claim to be Christians...
Well the church they follow has it's roots in Rome
