Plato on KnowledgePlato maintains that philosophy purifies the soul and prepares for death. Through his work The Republic, he talks about how everyone and everything is similar when it comes to thought process. Plato maintains that wisdom is acquired over time. As a person grows, they are exposed to many situations and events that provide experience and lessons. Everything that happens in a person's life shapes who they will become, how their wisdom will grow, and how much wisdom they will obtain.

Humans learn through physical and emotional pain and suffering. Every lesson in life is repeated until one finally understands the lesson. Plato emphasizes that knowledge is power and that it prepares people to accept the cycle of life and the course it takes. Each of us is seasoned in a different way, which makes us all unique. These combined experiences purify us, prepare us for life's obstacles, and ultimately bring us to an understanding of death. When we truly know everything, we will be able to accept death as an inevitable force of nature, something we cannot control, just as we cannot ultimately control our own destiny, regardless of the circumstances. efforts we deploy..
