Plato is one of the most famous philosophers of all time. He represented the philosophy of ancient Greece, belonging to its Classical Period. He was born into an aristocratic and influential family in Athens, where he founded the Academy, the first institution of higher learning in the entire Western world. Along with his mentor Socrates, and his student Aristotle, Plato is one of the most influential individuals in the entire history of humankind. It can even be said that he is one of the pillars of Western civilisation. His philosophy is often referenced as Platonic idealism and his biggest contribution is the Theory of Forms or Doctrine of Ideas, which asserts that the physical world is not the real world. Instead, ultimate reality exists beyond our physical world, in the world of ideas. Plato was not only a prominent figure of philosophy, but also of religion and spirituality; so-called Neo-platonism deeply influenced Christian theology. Plato invented the written dialogue and dialectic form of philosophy. Some of his most famous books are The Republic, The Symposium, The Apology of Socrates, Allegory of the Cave and The Dialogues of Plato, in which the main character is Socrates, who influenced Plato’s philosophy to a great extent. His entire work has survived for more than 2,400 years and has remained very popular the entire time. Like his mentor, Plato was a practical philosopher and there are many life lessons to learn from his philosophy.

Plato said “In truth, this Cosmos in its origin was generated as a compound, from the combination of Necessity and Reason.”

You are one of the most inspiring people I have ever met, you are as real as can be and it's hard to find the words to say how much I appreciate your work. It's amazing and the book is great
Underline the word desire. Desires can also be unrealistic as the moment 1 desire gets fulfilled the 2nd desire raises its head. The same way an unfulfilled desire brings sadness, illwill, animosity, jealousy, hatred .....so one has to be extremely careful and must identify the difference between necessity and desires. Your awareness towards these things will create higher awareness and will take you to a higher pedestal. Namoh Budhaya 🙏

When life gets hard that's when you bite down on the gum shield, you get back up n you fight for your life.
You don't just move forward when it's easy, you crawl forward if you have to when it's hard. That's how you grow, that's how you win.
I've been in alcohol n cocaine addiction for 22 years.
This ruthless opponent almost took my job, my home, my wife. I attempted suicide as I saw no way out.
Now I walk the dog, workout, meditate n study stoicism every day.
Now I'm 6 months free from alcohol & drugs.
Now I'm thriving in work, my wife is proud of me n we're stronger than ever.
Now I love myself.
If you're struggling n you're reading this please know youre not alone n you can do this. You can beat your demons too, whatever they may be.
You CAN do it.
thank you for this video
Thank you 🎉
Amazing!
Замечательно!
Thankyou🎉
Outstanding videos series ……. Would have gotten me an A+ when I took Philosophy 101 back in college many, many moons ago 😅
Am I in alignment with my passion?Do I follow the values which my profession expects? To Whom am I working for? What is my selfishness?
Actually, Plato described love and sexuality as the anthropological channel
which inhabits all of us, and through which we recognize our own folly.
Couldn't have been more to the point.

Is there anything left for someone who is so screwed up that no one will ever truly love them?
Why do you care about others love? Dont make yourself dependend on outside "forces"
Is it always the person that's'so screwed up' or is it the society that surrounds them? I'm an xpat who has been living in Spain for decades and find women here primarily selfish gold-diggers who are very ethnocentric.
Truly you’re not the only one who thinks he is screwed up! There are many who believe they are too!
The way you Are will attract your desires I'm sure ...
Because you are open/ you will meet someone open -hearted
Because you are funny and strong / you will attract honesty and laughter
Because you love / you will be Loved❤ it's science❤🎉
Life is inheritently meaningless, so don't get too serious with life
