The Apology 5/16

Indicate one sentence that you highlighted or underlined (give page number and section number) and write a short paragraph that explains why you underlined it or highlighted it. Be prepared to share this in discussion:

"Our love of what is beautiful does not lead to extravagance; our love of the things of the mind does not make us soft."

I think that what this is saying is that just because we as humans desire high quality things does not make us greedy, it is simply human nature. Human nature makes you want exiusate things but that doesn't make you extravagant, that only makes you human. And when it says that the love of the mind doesn't make you soft, I think that that means that just because you are concerned with things that men aren't nesscesarily expected to concern themselves with (i.e. combat) doesn't make you any less of the man and instead makes you more of one.
