TRUTH
The picture on the left may implicitly argue that Socrates is a irrelevant old dead dude.
His view that there could be a perfect, absolute truth is now disputed by the more modern view of relativism.
However, I (like Socrates) believe that there is Truth with a capital "T", and that this Truth (while different cultures can express it differently), comes down to love. As in "God is Love," and "This is why we love, because He loved us," Love.
The snapshot of me hugging a girl was taken at a Romanian orphanage, where I got to experience this love that went beyond boundaries while studying abroad last year. I believe that Argumentation, like all facets of live, should be used in service to our neighbor to the praise of the God of love. Like Socrates, I do not claim to know truth, but to seek it. As a Christian, I hope to seek truth and inspire action with the motivation of love.
