    The Apology is a dialogue written by Plato, recounting the defense speech of Socrates during his trial in 399 BCE. Socrates faced charges of impiety and corrupting the youth. The dialogue highlights Socrates' unique Socratic Method of questioning and critical inquiry. He asserts that true wisdom lies in recognizing one's ignorance and engaging in thoughtful dialogue. Socrates claims a divine inner voice guides him, preventing unjust actions. He defends himself against the corruption charge, arguing that he aimed to encourage critical thinking rather than harm the youth.
    Socrates recounts his Oracle of Delphi experience, where he was deemed the wisest. He interprets this as acknowledging his wisdom in knowing his own lack of knowledge. He indirectly critiques Athens' leaders, prioritizing truth and justice over personal gain. Socrates embraces his unconventional beliefs, justifying them as a divine calling to engage in philosophical conversations. "The Apology" showcases Socrates' commitment to his principles, his composed defense, and his legacy as a philosopher who challenged norms and advocated for self-examination.

    ... The truth Socrates spoke before they sentenced him to death was this "By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. ... If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher." Another great quote reads "No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable." Socrates was a physical beast also. Remember that.
