Reflection

For my reflection, I want to give my reflection to the quotes/questions given to Sophie in the Socrates chapter. The first question, “Is there such a thing as natural modesty?” Sophie talks about how society sets guidelines for what to feel modest about, and I agree with this. America tells us not to be nude in public, but in some places it’s natural. So is being modest/shy about being nude in public natural, or engrained in us? I believe for the most part, many people are modest or shy about at least one thing, but for what reason? Because society thinks we should be shy about it? Next, was “Wisest is she who knows she does not know.” I think this sentence has a little more depth to it. No one can know everything. So maybe this is saying the people that know there’s more to know are the smartest. I’m not completely sure… I know that I definitely have a lot more to learn. The third sentence was “true insight comes from within.”  Instincts come from within. I think maybe insight comes more from experience and personal opinion. Perceptions will always vary. The last sentence said “He who knows what is right will do right.” I couldn’t disagree more with this. Yes, many people that know what is right do right, but then there are the so many people that do wrong knowing it’s wrong.
