Socrates quote

Man must Rise above to the top of the atmosphere and beyond-for only thus will he fully understand the world in which he lives. This statement to me and from my opinion simply means that a man or human being must not only look from their own point of view  but from others points of view and other perpsectives then and only then will that person be able to truly understand the world and the people that live in it and the opinions and feelings of those he has come to know.the thing with this quote is that is seems more like an actual guidance statement because all that the world needs is just to understand itself and those on it and that harm it.The thing thought that i like about this stament is that its true.It may be uncondentional,but none the less it is still very true.
