A Socratic Seminar

Today there was a Socratic seminar held in class, a few things that stuck with me were:

• Seminars are a beneficial way to uncover many different views of a topic/discussion
• Love is widely represented in art pieces because it's such a familiar feeling
• "everyone is born with the feeling of love"
• Love is good, rarely is it ever bad
• "if love is bad, then it isn't love at all"
• Love is such a pure feeling, but with love comes vulnerability
• Everyone has grown up with an idea of love, whether it be associated with hugs, kisses, and even just verbal affection
• Question: Can you love someone but still hurt them, at the same time?
• majority said yes, some said cheating is an example
• many disagreed and said cheating was not loving someone, purely hurting
• People tend to be bad at loving because they don't do it for a genuine connection with others, they do it because they don't want to feel lonely
