No matter how smart someone is, no matter how many excellent arguments and views someone has. It can always be that his personal vanity, his pride, his status tempts him to take on things that go far beyond what is to be expected, if you take an enormous risk not only for yourself, but also for many others. I do not rule out that Socrates was a wise man, nor that his intentions were good. Whenever individuals manage to question a dogmatic, they never achieve anything one-sidedly, perhaps admirable, it is likely that they also create something less ideal. To whom or what exactly we owe the fact that today we are not simply ambushed and stabbed in a forest walk and that no life and death fights take place in the great imperialist theatres and that a human life seems to be of much more value than in such days of arbitrariness and barbarity, is hard to say. The price we generally pay for it is certainly potentially there.

But I myself, speak from a so far comfortable perspective, since I have it warm in my place during winter. One day, my circumstances might change, since convenience and laziness have led me towards an age where to be prepared for old age and retirement will maybe leave me poor.

Anyway, I like it better to stay faithful.
