The Apology of Socrates was written by Plato. In fact, it's a defensive speech of Socrates that he said in a court noted down by Plato. The main subject of the speech is a problem of the evil. Socrates insists that neither death nor death sentence is evil. We shouldn't be afraid of the death because we don't know anything about it. Socrates proved that the death shouldn't be taken as the evil with the following dilemma: the death is either a peace or a transit from this life to the next. Both can't be called evil. Consequently, the death shouldn't be treated as evil.

"Wie man wird, was man ist." So beschreibt Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) seine autobiografische Schrift, in der er rückblickend Deutungen seiner eigenen philosophischen Schriften darlegt.

Ser un buen oyente, nos dice Plutarco, es un arte que todos deberíamos aprender. Saber escuchar es tan importante como saber hablar bien. El placer que se alcanza al escuchar a otra persona depende tanto de quien habla como de quien escucha.

The world isn’t coming to an end, contrary to what you may have heard.
