"real wisdom is the property of God, and this oracle is his way of telling us that human wisdom has little or no value... The wisest of you men is he who has realized, like Socrates, that in respect of wisdom he is really worthless." His efforts to deflate the pretensions of those claiming wisdom, which he says he does to help the cause of God, has reduced him to extreme poverty and made him unpopular and resented, as has the attachment to him of noble youths, who emulate his ways. Yet he asks who influences the young for the better? He was unpaid for his work. .....our parents are always trying .....if you ease the burden of another you are not a worthless peasant.
