Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread, but give us roses.

Is the question at the end of the writing answered in this book? Or are you asking the readers to prove the readability of the book?

Firstly, thank you for reading. The book is about Socrates’ trial. Athens accuses Socrates of corrupting the youth and impiety. The little passage I quoted was what Socrates argues when he was charged with corrupting the youth. He says if he corrupted the youth, he would harm society, thus himself. Then, he concludes if he did so, it must be unintentional, and cannot be charged because of it. After I read, I thought every crime must be unintentional according to Socrates, and asked myself, does that mean we shouldn’t punish criminals? I still think about it, I wanted to see other readers’ comments.

''worm fastened on him'' a terrific definition of death
''Enkidu my brother whom I loved, the end of mortality has overtaken him. I wept for him seven days and nights till the worm fastened on him. Because of my brother I am afraid of death, because of my brother I stay through the wilderness. His fate lies heavy upon me. How can I be silent, how can I rest? He is dust and I too shall die and be laid in the earth forever.''
The “worm” detail is a fascinating touch. It really makes you understand how hard it is to accept the death of his brother, in fact, the phenomenon of death, for Gilgamesh.
