Socrates (469/470-399 BCE) was born and live whole life in Athens. As we know about him a lot, he was the great Greek philosopher and is considered the father of western philosophy ; but do you know he is also a great counselor, in the era of Socrates people were divided in a manner of poverty and richness everyone was very conscious about their status, but all alone Socrates was alone who benevolent with poor people and counselor them; for this act Socrates was always worn by King, but Socrates was Socrates he always stand as a buffer for poor people, although astonishing facts about Socrates; he is very submissive of law, people were used to worship of king; Socrates was also worship of king and never deny to do, but his Clairvoyance;
“There is someone who looks after everything; but we can’t see him”

this kind of thoughts play vital role to made him distinct from others, as such king don’t likes him anyway, he thinks Socrates is Counterfeiter; who teaches lower middle class and makes them unite against king and they will destroy his honor ship, kingdom and everything he will lose his powers etc; this troublesome situation made him very distressed; so he took his decision.

King offered Socrates leave Athens because according to him Socrates were guilty of corrupting the minds of the youth of Athens; and if he’ll not with this decision , so he will be sentenced to death by drinking a mixture containing poison Hemlock. Socrates was very genuine person he believed what he said and educate, so he deny to leave Athens but accept death by drinking poison hemlock; because if he accept deportation, it would be failure of his thoughts and education.

In the last day of his life before drinking hemlock he delivered an admired able speech, some of wording are listed below;
“I have never lived an ordinary quiet life.”

“I tried to persuade each one of you not to think more of practical advantages than of his mental and moral well-being.”

“The difficulty is not so much to escape death; the real difficulty is to escape from doing wrong”

At the end drink hemlock and died, but he did not die his breath left the body, he is still alive by his thoughts.

Socrates was great philosopher but himself he were not used to write his thoughts ideas in a proper manner so his students Plato ,Xenophon and Aristotle are the main sources of historical Socrates; who conveyed his valued thoughts to us.
