After Reading How Socrates Died

Well, previously, how interesting the book is! I love the way it shows the debating communication. It shows how people think clearly. Back to the main point now, I do really have some ideas after I read the book. There are so many dialogues that look  similar. It makes me deep thinking and get some confused. One of my opinion is what piety is or what impiety is. According to the books, at first, Euththyphro said that loving gods means piety, hating is impiety. However, how people tell you are pious  or not? In my opinion, I believe all the behaviors are based on how people think which is good, pious, and so on. Even though I believe there are the Gods exits, I still feel that what we do now is just want to make people think we are a pious person. It's not you really love god or god loves you. How do you know god is right there and watch all of us? To me, I believe that the gods are what people create in our mind. He just exits in our deep heart. What we really need to do is not to let ourselves feel guilty or sorry. Do the right things that reasonable to ourselves.
In addition, Socrates combined his opinion with math which shows that he is not only a think-thinker, he did the provident that all the philosophy still need to make sense with science. Also, that's a good way to understand the meaning which he discussed.
