Socrates

Lately I've been crazy about quotes and idioms. Words of wisdom, inspirational sayings.. all those stuff. I chance upon Socrates. I've read about his life in wiki (briefly), and it kinds of sadden me. I don't know whether he's ignorant about his own intellect or he's just being humble about it. Or he's a conceited man. Who knows.. only him I guess.
His famous quote was "I know that I know nothing". I felt that there's a hidden meaning behind this saying. Different people have different conclusion about it. It's a debatable sentence.. no?? Or maybe at that time when he made that remark, he actually felt that way.. ?? hmm....

For me, that phrase suggest that he's a very intelligent and creative human being, and he knows that. I think he questioned himself plenty of time. Am I that good a philosopher? Why do they look up at me? The quotes he made, it may sound simple, but the truth is deep. I really admire him a lot. He made so many quotes that really makes me think about my own actions and also the society as a whole. Human behaviours.. so many whys, and hows, and huh?.. hahaha..

I'm very curious about human thoughts.. this thing called psychology. There's a saying, "curiosity killed the cat". Well, for me, curiosity doesn't kill the cat, coz cats have 9 lives. Still got 8 lives to go.. :p hehehehe...

Ok.. i'm done.. peace out.. ;)
