In The Beginning of Everything‚ Robyn Schneider states‚ “If everything really does get better‚ the way everyone claims‚ then happiness should be graphable. But that’s crap‚ because better isn’t quantifiable.” The reason why better is not quantifiable‚ because not one person is best at one subject‚ sport‚ or provision‚ we forget how easily everything can go to hell just as easily as a second goes by.

1) When Socrates argues that it is better to be wronged than to do wrong‚ better even to die than to do wrong‚ he is saying that he rather be killed than be harmed. In the Apology‚ this quote raises the most basic question; what is he saying?
