Plato is talking to an American woman after 9/11. |
|
| Help me to understand why 9/11 happened. | |
|
| Well, Plato, there aren't really any easy answers to that questions. | |
|
|
|
|
Plato really tries to get the woman to think about 9/11. |
|
| Plato, I want to understand, but it's just not easy to talk about. | |
|
| Don't but you see..."philosophy begins in wonder." Don't you wonder what happened? Don't you wonder why it happened? Don't you wonder why so many lives were lost? | |

The woman starts to consider some of Plato's questions. |
|
| It's simple young lady. The government owes you answers. As my great teacher, Socrates, taught me, "There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance." | |
|
| Well, I guess I do wonder why so many lives were lost. It just seemed so senseless. But how do I begin to get those questions answered? Who do I ask? Won't I get myself in trouble with the government? | |
