A Socratic Seminar

• Socrates was an educator who asked a lot of open-ended questions
• When someone argues they are not necessarily in a conflict they are just in search of the truth 
• Love is a popular theme in art because it is mysterious and one of the most human-felt emotion
• We're interested in love because we want someone in our lives just for us
• We suffer from dishonesty and mistrust
• Love is understanding
• Why is love such a human trait?  Why do we associate love with being human?
• It's one of the first feelings we feel when we're born
• It's closely associated with hurt
• Sometimes people fail at love because they're in it for the wrong reasons, like not wanting to be alone, instead of wanting a genuine connection with another person
• Loving makes us vulnerable
• Can you love someone but still hurt them?
• Do you love someone if you act against them and cheat on them?  
• Some people think that it's the sexual cheating that counts, but it's really more emotional
