Apologia
I'm going explain to you why I have such an evil name
I am the wisest of men
For I know that I have no wisdom
I thought if only I could find a man wiser than myself
Accordingly, I went to one who had the reputation of wisdom
When I began to talk with him, I could not help thinking
That he was not really wise
Although he was thought wise by many
And still wiser by himself!
I am better off than he is
For he knows nothing and thinks that he knows
I neither know nor think that I know
In the latter particular then, I seem to have slightly the advantage
So I left him
I found that men most in repute were all but the most foolish
Now you will find out that you are more ignorant than they are
God only is wise
The wisdom of men is worth little or nothing
Can a man believe in spiritual and divine agencies
And not in spirits or demigods?
You really think that I do not believe in any god?
There you are mistaken
And in this respect only I believe
myself to differ from men in general

For I do believe that there are Gods
And in a sense,
higher than that in which any of my accusers believe in them
You will not easily find another like me
I will tell you why
Either death is a state of nothingness and utter unconsciousness
Or, as men say, there is a change
And migration of the soul from this world to another
Now, if you suppose that there is no consciousness
But a sleep like the sleep of him who is undisturbed even by dreams
Death will be an unspeakable gain
But if death is the journey to another place
And there, as men say, all the dead abide
What good can be greater than this?
No one knows whether death,
Which many may fear and apprehend to be the greatest evil
May not be the greatest good!
The difficulty, my friends, is not to avoid death
But to avoid unrighteousness
For that runs faster than death
No one knows - What can God mean?
No one knows - I to die, and you to live
Which is better? - God only knows
