" Socrates quite often became so absorbed in his own thoughts, that once, he was standing all day long on the same spot. "

Having just smoked (the misnamed) Silver Haze, I know the feeling.

Within our unconsciousness, which is immune to conscious criticism and control, we stand defenseless, open to all kinds of influences, good but also bad. As with other dangers, we can guard against the risk of mental infection only when we know what is attacking us.

My god man, you're me, I'm sure of it.

I read a most interesting quote the other day, "A philosopher is someone who recognizes that there is a lot he does not understand, and is troubled by it." and I'm sure Socrates said "One thing only I know, and that is that I know nothing."

Thinking about your thought, what exactly is life, that we should know how to live it properly?

It's all up to you, how you chose to live in order to be most happy with it, wouldn't you say?
