What Would Socrates Do?

Welcome to a special Pebbles blogpost.
Created October 23, 2024

Socrates took being a citizen to be a solemn matter.

He felt a responsibility to act in the proper manner for a citizen. He even agreed that the State had the right to put him to death, despite knowing it was their error.

Perhaps it is no longer the modern way to make such commitments to ideas.

Unless you are immune to reality, you are probably attuned enough to be voting in this election.

No election before ever had such significance in the history of the world. Many millions of people are getting very involved in this election. Many who are still undecided are preparing for it by studying the solutions that each candidate is talking about and trying to be objective in comparing these proposed solutions.

It’s the kind of thing you want to be a part of. Even if you never voted before, and never do it again.

Everything you experience teaches you things.

Here are my suggestions on how to get the most out of this election in terms of having a peak experience, knowing you are part of history.

Really feel alive. Take deep breaths. Look at the sky.

When you are in the voting booth (or voting in advance), here are the steps:

1.   Look and feel deep inside yourself, who you really are in yourself, not your parents, not anybody else. What do you want out of your future? For yourself, and all of the people you care about.

2.   Focus on one candidate. Let yourself imagine what it’s going to be like on that timeline if this one wins. How it will affect you, and all the people you care about.

3.   Do the same with the other candidate.

4.   Vote.

Love to all,
Bill
