Jaegyum: (Reading from his tablet) Wow, Jaeyi, this blog post about Socrates is really interesting! Did you know he was a famous philosopher in ancient Greece?

Jaeyi: A philosopher? What's that? Is it like a scientist?

Jaegyum: Not exactly. From what I understand here, a philosopher is someone who thinks deeply about big questions, like what is right and wrong, or what is the meaning of life. Socrates was really good at asking questions to make people think.

Jaeyi: So, he was like a really smart teacher?

Jaegyum: Kind of, but it says here that some people didn't like his ideas. They thought he was corrupting the youth and not believing in their gods. So, they arrested him and put him in prison.

Jaeyi: That's not fair! If he was just trying to make people think, why would they do that?

Jaegyum: That's what I was thinking! The blog post mentions he had a chance to escape, but he chose not to because he believed it was important to respect the laws, even if he thought they were wrong in his case.

Jaeyi: He stayed in prison even though he could have left? That's so brave… and maybe a little bit stubborn?

Jaegyum: (Laughs) Maybe a little stubborn! But it makes you think, doesn't it? What's more important, your own freedom or following the rules of society?

Jaeyi: Hmm… that's a tough question. This Socrates guy sounds pretty cool, even though he ended up in prison.
