the Symposium

i finished the Symposium last night

it was definitely worth the read

it calls cultural norms into question both how they are created and wether they are valid

thirty year old men having sex with fourteen year old boys sounds disgusting to us now

they would have found hookup culture equally disgusting

the celestial form of love described in the Symposium is very attractive to me

i think that it is perfectly feasible to have that kind of love with someone of the opposite sex

i hope that i go back and reread this in a few years
