You don have to take my word  I aint no Socrates

Socrates.

          No he shook his head no you’re not. I suspect he spoke better Greek than you speak English.

Indubitably that tickled him so save the petty recrimination an headwaggin

                                                                              Our conversation wasnt to recreate Socrates Cave nor were we challenging Plato who took up the mantle and compared the effect of education and the lack of it on our nature Aint it the truth Aint it the truth Balls in Socrates court its his Cave his allegory he chained people to a cave wall and danced shadows opposite them on a blank wall forcefully rendering shadows immaterial  not reality

his head still wagging An yet, between them, you inserted and cited the Cowardly Lion, from the Wizard of Oz.

Yare sharp Oz is eminently quotable Youll recall the Lion lacked courage otherwise he had his shit together

Oh man, the things that cross your mind; you’re smarter than you look.

Old joke I appreciate the sentiment Still  don take me at my word

                                                                     Verify verily aint hurtin my feelings Ya know I don take you at yours

Is that mistrust?

Inherent mistrust I trust no one  which isnt to cast aspersionsrather to satisfy my necessity to learn understand an know first hand

                 Referenced an cross referenced I take nothing out of hand Might be a personality flaw although I believe there are worse to have or exhibit Patience Im beginning to understand is another flaw

                                                                                                     Be that as it may  Know thyself  Be true to thyself  

So you’re your North Star.

North Star  Insightful good for you I am  My fortune not to have to seek my compass heading from without
