Yet, Socrates objects to all of these actions and chooses to face death for many valid reasons. Socrates does not take a stance about whether escaping looks good or bad, instead he lets other people decide whether it is good or bad, for it reflects on them and not on Socrates.

The existence of ghosts or spirits has been a speculation by human beings for many centuries. There has not been a lot of proof within the field of science to show that ghosts and spirits are real.
