Plato not Pluto.

How often do hear people confusing Plato with Pluto? A lot unless off course we don't run around the same circles. Anyway, I have taken it upon myself to clear up the mix up. Pluto is a planet and Plato is a genius, in my humble opinion. Plato stands with great philosophers like Socrates and Aristotle as one of the pioneers of the intellectual lore, particularly in the West off course. We might have lost him to politics, given the long history of participation in Athenian politics by his family.But he declined to follow suit, frowning on corruption that usually goes hand in glove with politics (Think Julius Malema and the tenderpreneurs of his generation). So Plato came to a conclusion that philosophy,not politics, could cure social ills. At an unknown date before Christ, he founded Athens the Academy, the first permanent institution alloted to philosophical research and teaching. And like me, his travels were far-flung. His literary life is inspiring to young aspiring writers like myself, meaning Plato like Pluto will live forever. And that's about the only similarities between the two. So here is a free advise to them dumb-dumbs: Pick up a book #DontConfuseShit
