Socrates and Cebes ( one of his Students)
( Seeing distress among his students )
Socrates: " You have a childish fear that when the soul goes out from the body the wind will really blow it away and scatter it, especially if a man happens to die in a high wind and not calm weather "
Cebes: " Assume that we have that fear, Socrates, and try to convince us; or rather do not assume that we are afraid, but perhaps there is a child within us, who has such fears. "

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
