When I began reading The Apology I thought I would be completely lost not knowing much about Greek Mythology. After reading the first few paragraphs I was beginning to understand where Socrates point of view was coming from. He did not want to hurt anyone, he was simply questioning what is "right". It amazes me that even with death over his head he continued to stand up for his beliefs. My favorite part is when he says he went out to find someone wiser than himself and when he did he said they were not wise at all they were just "known to be wise." Socrates realized that those so called "wise ones" were popular because everyone agreed with them. While Socrates began becoming more and more unpopular because what he said made you question the authorities. I think it is sometimes good to question what you have always thought of being "right". If we never questioned how things were being done then we would have never have gotten to where we are today.
