Transformative Justice: Unlocking the Secrets of Socratic Wisdom
One who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice; and it is not right to return an injury, or to do evil to any man, however much we have suffered from him. –Socrates
Socrates, the ancient philosopher, believed in a profound principle: to refrain from returning harm for harm. He emphasized the importance of upholding justice and virtue, even when faced with injury. Socrates taught that it’s never right to repay evil with evil, regardless of the suffering endured.
His words echo the essence of compassion and integrity, urging us to embrace non-retaliation in our interactions. By following this philosophy, we not only uphold our own dignity but also contribute to social harmony. Socrates’ wisdom inspires us to transcend personal grievances and strive for a higher moral standard in our actions.
