thank you, yet all I did was say what I have learned here on Medium, from reading great pieces like jackroad2020's https://medium.com/illumination/in-with-the-old-timeless-quotes-from-ancient-greece-383e399b00d2, which I had the synchronous pleasure of editing. Jack was a dream to work with--he gladly and with the humility of one who writes well yet yearns to be his best, went through several rounds of edits with me, because as good as the piece got, there was more that could make it better. Jack's piece discusses, with in depth analysis and application to today's world, 3 Socrates quotes, 2 of Plato's, 3 from Aristotle and 1 from Plutarch. This 6-minute-story deserved far far far more than 15 views and 10 30-second reads and one fan. At least that one fan and only person to meaningfully engage wth the story was The great greek goddess of poetry, anthi, who said of Jack's piece: "Philosophy has a practical usage and encloses many solutions/answers to/about every-day-life matters, though most of the people think it’s just some theoretical talking.

This piece was very moving to me, not only because you’re referring to my ancestors, but also because I see many of these things giving me practical solutions every day."

Now I am going to turn this response into a proper story and see about getting Jack and Socrates the credit due them
