A very special Group

This Group is not about events, big anouncements or to achieve anything in any game. It is just about Philosophy and sharing experiences of life.
If you got to tell somthing, go ahead. Please let others participate on your hopefully deep thoughts.

Though it is a public group, I intend on some rules. Comments of "political incorrectness" will be burned and buried, as the ones who stated them. Again and again ^^

This group will feature any bright mind, who is willing to share his or her experience and thoughts with the rest of us. Go ahead ^^
(preferably in english or in your own language if it is something hard to translate)

Now reading Pythagoras: His Life and Teachings by Thomas Stanley.

I recently finished reading Plato's Republic. Here is one of my favourite passages:

"Then we must enlarge our borders; for the original healthy State is no longer sufficient. Now will the city have to fill and swell with a multitude of callings which are not required by any natural want; such as the whole tribe of hunters... and swineherds... and there will be animals of many other kinds, if people eat them."

"Certainly."

"And living in this way we shall have much greater need of physicians than before?"

"Much greater."

"And the country which was enough to support the original inhabitants will be too small now?"

"Quite true."

"Then a slice of our neighbours' land will be wanted by us for pasture and tillage, and they will want a slice of ours, if, like ourselves, they exceed the limit of necessity, and give themselves up to the unlimited accumulation of wealth?"

"That, Socrates, will be inevitable."

"And so we shall go to war, Glaucon. Shall we not?"

"Most certainly."
