Stones and Bread

When one is given bread he loses all of the things which makes him Human. He will no longer recognize morality, virtue, freedom, or any consciousness of the Self. He is only reminded of these things when he looks upon one refusing the bread, and he is shamed. His response? To throw stones at the one who refuses.

"The soul of man is immortal and imperishable." -Plato

Here is Plato's Meno, Socrates discusses the questions What is Virtue? What is the Soul? What is Learning?
