The great philosopher Socrates < abandoning life to death> how did he himself view death?

As night fell, death approached Socrates step by step. Kerry said to him, "Do you have anything else to answer?" Anything, we are willing to serve you. ”

Socrates replied, "No." I just hope you can do what I usually say and take care of yourself. If you can do this, you are helping me and my children. But if you do not treat yourself well and do not follow what I have just said and what I have said before, then it is useless no matter how seriously and solemnly you promise me now. ”

Kerry said, "We will certainly do what you want, but how do we arrange your aftermath?" ”

"As long as you really feel in your hearts that I still exist and have not left you, then bury me the way you want me to be!" Socrates smiled slightly after saying this and looked around at the people next to him.

He went on to say, "Guys! Kerry thought that I was not Socrates now, but that the body I would see soon after was me, so he asked how to bury me. After I take the poison, I must say goodbye to you and go to another country. We have been talking for a long time on this issue, on the one hand, in the hope of calming you down, and on the other hand, to comfort myself. But our conversation doesn't seem to work for Kritong. I beg you to go and assure Kryton that my soul after death will not stay here, but will go to Paradise, which is far away from here. In this way his mood must have calmed down; his mourning might have diminished when he saw my flesh being incinerated or buried, for he would no longer feel that it was an abuse of me; and at the same time, when he buried my body, he would not have said, 'It is Socrates who is buried.' 'Krito! You have to get rid of unrealistic thoughts so that your heart doesn't hurt. You should muster up enough courage to say, 'Only the flesh of Socrates is buried.' As for how to bury me, just bury me according to your will and according to the general custom. ”

Having said this, Socrates stood up and went into another room to bathe. Kerry and the others were waiting outside, and Kerry brought up what Socrates had told him, and asked them to discuss with each other, to think back and think again, and to feel sad and sighed at the unfortunate encounters of the past. They all have a feeling that they are about to lose their most beloved father and then have to face a lonely and confused life alone.

After Socrates bathed, his family, including three sons, the eldest of whom was 17 years old, named Lamprose, the other two, both very young, and his second wife, Xantibé, came to him. Socrates told his family what he desperately wanted in front of Kerry and his family. Then let the wife and children go back first. Then he turned to the others of Kerry.

At this time the sky slowly darkened, and Socrates sat down and stopped talking. After a while, one of the 11-man criminal officers walked up to Socrates and said, "Socrates, you are really different from the other prisoners." When I received orders from my superiors to take poison, they either played tricks on me or cursed me, and you never complained about me. Ever since you came here, I have learned that you are the noblest, gentlest, greatest of all the people in this prison, and that is what I believe now. You are a reasonable person, and you know that the person responsible for this kind of thing is not me, so you are not angry with me. And you know what I want to say to you, that is, please take care of yourself, and please accept this unchangeable thing with a relaxed and calm mood. When the man finished speaking, he left crying. I am a mountain! The next issue will share the process of Socrates' death, which is very shocking!
