Born This Way

Filed under Creations + Curiosities

Spending time in my childhood home looking through old “stuff” I found some high school notebooks. Much of the class stuff had been trashed years ago but a few items remain. I was struck by a quote I had captured when I was 16 or 17 at the time I was first entranced by Plato/Socrates.

“Are you not ashamed that you give your attention to acquiring as much money as possible, and…give no attention or thought to truth and understanding and the perfection of your soul?”

Plato, “Socrates’ Defense” , Apology

I have this constructed narrative in which over the years I have evolved and changed, when the truth is that I just continue to be myself. And I like that.
