SOCRATES: Perhaps you seem to make yourself but rarely available, and not be willing to teach your own wisdom, but I\u2019m afraid that my liking for people makes them think that I pour out to anybody anything I have to say, not only without charging a fee but even glad to reward anyone who is willing to listen. If then they were intending to laugh at me, as e you say they laugh at you, there would be nothing unpleasant in their spending their time in court laughing and jesting, but if they are going to be serious, the outcome is not clear except to you prophets.<\/p>\n

Three things going on in this passage\u2014<\/p>\n

1. He teaches because he likes people, he enjoys others (metta, loving-kindness).<\/p>\n

2. He teaches for free, doesn\u2019t charge (Dana, generosity).<\/p>\n

3. He doesn\u2019t care if people laugh at him or laugh with him- he just cares that they\u2019re having a good time (piti, joy). <\/p>\n

Pretty neat to see that teaching from old Socrates!<\/h6>\n
