Philosophy and Death.

 Socrates views death as a good thing. He views it as becoming god's possession. The only exception to it being a good thing is suicide, he views it negativity because you leave the earth before you are called upon. When you die you are released and free from evil. You become one with philosophy. Socrates says that death and life are opposites and are connected in a way. After death you loose your body, but your soul is not lost. Instead it's put somewhere safe so that you can be reborn. I have mixed emotions about how I feel about his argument. I view death as neutral. I grew up catholic and I was always told heaven awaits you after you die and you're reunited with you predecease relatives. That to me isn't a bad thing because you get to be with your loved ones, however nobody genuinely wants to die if they feel that they have unfinished business on Earth. Not to mention the loved ones you leave behind here, which I look at negatively. I also believe that our souls are reborn. I strongly believe in past lives and believe there is a connection to them and who were are now.

Darby's views.

 In the article Darby discusses the racial injustices and inequalities in the world. Black and white people are divided and black people are at a disadvantage. Throughout the article he talks about how no reparations have been made to fix the past injustices. Darby mentions an approach of corrective justice. This means readdressing the past issues and getting rid of them completely. I agree with Darby that racial injustices should be eliminated and reparations should be made.
