“As wolves love lambs so lovers love their loves.”

Love is madness. Thus the debate of ‘friends with benefits’ in an ancient setting starts. Although Socrates is able to support it for the sake of the argument, he’s eventually opposes to the idea as some of life's greatest blessings flow from madness. Madness of love is a divine intervention.

Interesting topic to choose to discuss rhetorics. I did not expect Socrates to be such a comedian.

Is it bad to say that I dozed off a lot while reading? To be fair, I was on vacation.
