Crito
Is it true justice to uphold the law and one's agreements even in the face of an unjust verdict?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I first read it, I fell into the illusion of having entered the cell of Socrates as he awaited execution. Despite the earnest pleading of his friend Crito to flee, Socrates holds to his principles and accepts death with serene composure. His unshakable conviction, honoring his covenant with the community above his own safety, shames me, who compromises so easily.
