Socrates, if we think about death from another angle, we will find that there are great reasons to believe that death is a good thing. Death may be one of the following two situations: either it is a completely unconscious state of nothingness, or it is often said that the soul has changed from one world to another. If you think that death is like dreamless sleep without consciousness after death, then death is really an indescribable benefit. If someone wants to compare a dreamless night with other days in his life and see how many days are more exciting and enjoyable than this night, I don't think he can say how many days. Don't say that civilians are prominent emperors. If this is the essence of death, eternity is only one night. (From the Magic Sword Book League) If death just moves to another world, where all the dead people live, as people often say, then, my friends and judges, what can be more wonderful than this? If the traveler reaches the underground world, he gets rid of the earthly judges, but meets the honest judges MINO, Radaman Seth, Akers, Tripp Thomas, and the sons of the gods who live a just life here, then this journey will be truly meaningful. If you can talk to orpheus, Muse, Hesiad and Homer, who won't give up everything? If death is really like this, I am willing to continue to die (I really hope to meet Paramedes, Ajax, the son of Tiramon, and the ancient heroes who died in unfair trials, and talk to them. I believe it will be a pleasure to compare our sufferings with each other. More importantly, I can continue to explore the truth of things in that new world (as I have done in this world), and I can recognize who is really talented and who is just pretending to be smart. Judges (from the Magic Sword Book League), no one is willing to give up everything in exchange for the opportunity to study the leaders of this expedition to Troy-Odysseus (one of the leaders of the Trojan expedition in the horse epic), Sisyphus (the father of Odysseus in Greek mythology, who was punished for constantly pushing a stone from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain and pushing it back and forth) and countless other men and women! What a pleasant thing it will be to talk to them and ask them for advice! In that world, no one will be sentenced to death for asking questions! If the legend is true, the people who live there will not only be happier than us, but also get eternal life. Judges, don't be discouraged by death. You know, no matter whether a good man lives or dies, there will be no bad consequences, and he and his family will not be abandoned by the gods. What is about to happen to me is no accident. I know very well that death is better for me now than living. I can get rid of all my troubles because there is no Oracle. For the same reason, I don't resent the prosecutor or the person who sentenced me to death. Although they were unkind to me, they didn't hurt me. However, I can blame them a little. But I still want to ask you to do something for me. Dear friends, please teach my sons when they grow up (Socrates died when his son was very young). If they value wealth or other things more than morality, please try to convince them as hard as I do. If they are pretentious, please condemn them as I condemn you, because they ignore the essence of things, that is, petty and pretentious. If you can do this, my son and I will get justice from you. It's time to go, and we'll go our separate ways-I'm going to die, and you continue to live. As for which is better, life or death, only the gods know.
