An interesting quote on marriage by Socrates
150 sats \ 4 comments \ @Taft 26 Mar BooksAndArticles
Socrates, the founding father of Greek philosophy and a renowned ancient Greek philosopher, says:
By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.
I'm not married and therefore cannot judge this quote based on personal experience, but it sounds quite interesting, intriguing, and thought-provoking.
It has captured my attention and I'm interested in hearing married stackers' thoughts about it.
Do you agree or disagree with this quote?

It reminds me of a legend about Socrates. He was a great man full of wisdom and his wife wasn't naive. In fact she was so good and gentle to Socrates except for a few buckets of cold water thrown on his face whenever he came late after his philosophical meetings.
This has been the same ever since the creation of man. No wife endures getting back late from office. You're no Socrates for them. You're their sleeping pillow. Aren't you?

Maybe he's right, it seems like a mockery of himself and his experience.

Probably, yes. It is said that he was married twice. Maybe he knew what he was saying. 😁😁
