Do people get what they deserve in this world? I do not believe that they do. In some cases they do‚ but mostly people don’t get what they deserve. I have 3 reasons for believing this. Firstly‚ innocent children all around the world suffer in ways that are terrible. For example‚ thousands of children in Africa don’t have enough food or water to live‚ schools or medicine. They are born‚ and then suffer and sometimes die. Other children live in war zones‚ like in Palestine or Israel‚ India‚ Pakistan

As the world becomes more immersed in advanced technology and more discoveries are made‚ we assume we know everything. If Socrates were here today he would repeat what he said to Athenians 2‚400 years ago‚ that we know nothing. After Socrates encountered the Oracle of Delphi‚ which told him he was the wisest man in Athens‚ he went on a journey to try to disprove the oracle.

Socrates was a man that questioned all. He looked into the words people spoke discovering that they were mere soap bubbles. Why he did this‚ only Socrates knows. He believed that a life not looked into was a life that could have been done without. What did Socrates mean by this? Possibly that a life lived only on the surface was meaningless. If one could not dive deep into the oceans of his or her own thoughts it would be better for them to drown‚ so to speak. Perhaps the philosopher was trying to
