Symposium
Are you loving the superficial shell of the other, or the eternal beauty beyond it?
📝ONGO's Reflection
What is love? Imagine the finest minds of the age tipping their cups through the night, debating this single question. When I first read this book, I was deeply captivated by the ladder of love that Socrates describes — the ascent that begins with the beauty of the body and rises toward the beauty of the soul and of wisdom. We so often take love to be possession or emotional fulfillment, but Plato calls it a great creative energy that fills our lack and reaches toward the immortal.
"Love is simply the name for the desire and pursuit of the whole."Plato, Symposium
"사랑이란 영원히 선한 것을 자기의 것으로 삼으려는 욕망이다."
