excruciating living in a country where education is expensive. doesn't matter how well you do academically if you have no money. i understand this well enough by now but it's soul crushing every time

I had the exact same thought while reading it to the point where a lot was just soooo unenjoyable because it reminded me of religious rhetoric I've heard growing up and still do😭😭😭 much prefer that interpretation to the bureaucracy one

right now i'm rereading the phaedo for a presentation for philosophy class!! it's so thought-provoking with its views on the immortality of the soul, plato's theory of forms as well as recollection gahhhh i adore it, not just as a philosophical work but as a piece of literature it's BEAUTIFUL🥺🥺
