 Basing your answer on ' Phaedo' answer the question , how should a human being face death??

Ans: The story Phaedo is about the last moments in the life of  Socrates . According to the description of Pheado. Socrates was accused of misleading the youths. For his influential ideas ,he was given death punishment. He could have saved his life by changing his views or opinions but he didnt do so. He always walked on the of truth .He accepted death very easily. Though his execution was coming near, he worked and behaved in the normal way. His wife and children as ell as his disciples wept, Socrates remained firm in his opinions. He lived bravely and died bravely. Death is inevitable . All of us should die sooner or later. Most of he human beings are worried and afraid of death . The story Phaedo  teach us that we should face death as Socrats does.Without being worried and afraid of death,we should live meaningful life. We should always perform our duties walking on the path of truth. We should not hesitate to die for the sake of truth or humanity. Socrates drank a cup of hemlock in  a single drought. He left his wife ,children ,disciples and this world very easily. Though he died , his philosophy  and the path of truth that he showed are still alive. Thus death is a natural force and we cant escape it. But , we should accept it easily , face it bravely and make our death meaningful.
