Socrates on Physical Strength 💪

Most people think Socrates only cared about the mind.

He didn’t.

For Socrates, training the body was part of becoming a complete human being.

The body and the mind were not separate. Discipline, courage, endurance, and self-mastery were developed through both thought and action.

That is why he said it was a shame to grow old without discovering the beauty and strength your body is capable of.

Not because appearance matters.

Because human potential matters.
