Nobody

Socrates walked on the streets and he looked around because that city, very great was very strange for him; and a policeman watched him and understood that he was foreign he approached and asked: “What’s problem?”, and Socrates: “I haven’t problems because I am nobody, then I can’t have problems or I can have it because I am nobody and then I am somebody”, policeman has got handcuff and he showed to Socrates it and: “Do you want it?”, and Socrates asked: “Do you want arrest Socrates or nobody?”, policeman then called other policeman, while some person was around both, because interested to this scene, they have thought that it was publicity, and in fact somebody has asked: “What is publicity? Are you actor or singer?”, and Socrates: “No I am nobody as Socrates”, and this guy: “I don’t think it, you are nobody and Socrates?”, and Socrates: “Yes, nobody but I am somebody, because I am present and it isn’t if you know me or not, I am somebody not certainly for you, but very much persons has known me, although nobody has known me after 399 a.Ch., in fact if I confess my name somebody that has known me trough my example he is going to think that I am crazy”, and guy: “Then?” and Socrates: “I am nobody for you and very much other, but I am somebody as very much persons that have lived”. Guy has objected: “If you are nobody, you are nobody and stop”, and Socrates: “I am nobody because you don’t know me as very much persons, but if you know me or not I am somebody, because if you think very well this concept, is very difficult to be nobody, because you have an job, you have a personality, you have a think, then you are somebody”, and guy: “Yes but nobody knows me”, and Socrates: “Do you know very much persons” and he has indicated persons around; and guy answered: “No certainly”, and Socrates: “Then they are nobody as you are nobody, but everybody knows somebody”, and guy: “Whom?”, and Socrates: “Himself, then you know yourself, then somebody knows you, and stop”. Socrates looked around among crowd and he has chosen a way and he has gone away.
