Socrates said to his jurors, "Are you not ashamed that, while you take care to acquire as much wealth as possible, with honor and glory as well, yet you take no care or thought for understanding truth, or for the best possible state of your soul?" Do you agree with this attitude? Why or why not?

In a way I agree with this talk of Socrates, for as much as you have wealth, the world is much larger than that, although wealth is what the vast majority of people want. It is important to understand the truths, to understand life for oneself, and to search for meaning rather than riches; after all, riches will not be carried to the grave.
