Everyone wants to leave their mark, everyone wants their voice to be heard and a lot of us are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve that......but sometimes is the cost really worth it?.
I came upon that quote of Socrates a while back and the irony and truth of that quote hit me hard, for one to acquire knowledge,he must be open minded to learning not relying and sitting on the things he has already learnt. So yes, Socrates was really the wisest for realizing that.
Sometimes just being heard by one person is enough ellie.
Who knows, being heard might birth something that world isn't ready for :)
You're absolutely correct Mr Ray.
