Socrates on women pursuit.
>Socrates: You say that you cannot be happy without a women.
>X: correct
>S: I assume the relationship with said women would involve sex on a regular basis?
>X: Yes
>S:Just to clarify, having this would make your life better. As in, make you happy. Suggesting that at this moment you are unhappy until you get sex?
>X:Yes
>S:Therefore it is right to assume that all your life, there has not been a moment where you were happy? Outside of having sex with a woman of course.
>X: Well uh...
>S: Birthdays? Christmas? Hanging out with friends?
>X: You win socrates
>S: I am not finished yet. Don't end the fun too soon.
>S: When you crave delicious sweets. Are you eternally satisfied after indulgence?
>S: When you have exhausted a game. Do you go find another game to play? Or are you satisfied for life after one game?
>S: Therefore the pursuit of pleasure you are constantly striving for under the delusion that it would lead to a happy life is futile. For it is an infinite journey. And harms the soul for eventually the craving would get so big it would be impossible to satisfy in the moment. Even if you were the king of the known world!
X:You speak too much. But you have convinced me. But logic won't fix what I feel. I want what I don't have.
S: And you will always want what you don't have my dear friend.

He's saying you gotta up those numbers senpai.
EVErYTHING IS LIkE A GameEEE, STOP PLAYING AND YOU WIN LIFE MAN. STOPpp cravingGG StufFF
First of all, stop fucking posting this
Secondly, it is fucking stupid to say "you don't need this because other things make you happy"
Why not apply that to birthdays, christmas, and hanging with friends as well?
Also entering a relationship is not a final indulgence. The intricacies of a relationship can constantly provide goal to work towards and ways to self improve

Nah, it's a genuine quote from a dialogue Socrates had with his wife Xanthippe (hence the X) after she caught him going on Grindr.

Was this before or after she emptied a chamber pot on him?
