Socrates explains that his goal was not to teach the Athenians, but to serve them as his mother did. Using his method called the “Socratic method” which is also found in the Euthyphro reading, he defines a good deed as something that is good because it has value towards our efforts making us happier and better people rather than the Gods considering it a good deed. As you can see, the Gods and the superior people of Athens did not agree on the opinions of Socrates which was the reason for his premature death from poison (hemlock) condemned by the superior people of Athens. He stated that happiness is found by paying less attention to the whole body but rather to the soul of one's body. The goal of his “Socratic method” was to pave the way for knowledge by showing where ignorance lay. He was a person who was open to all knowledge, but he saw it in a different way than most people. He admitted that he is an ignorant person but a person with passion and knowledge regarding his opinions and mindset. He explained that happiness is not about the length of someone's life, but more importantly about the quality of someone's life. For example, Benito Mussolini, Italian politician and creator of fascism, states: “It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep.” I would have to admit that I would rather live one day proudly as a strong and ferocious beast than 100 years as a weak prey without knowing when life will get better. In Socrates' views on this topic, he presents an argument about what happiness is that is as powerful today as when he first discussed it over 2,400 years ago. Basically Socrates is concerned with establishing two main points: 1) happiness is everything
