Short Discourse on Plato

Plato said, "At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet" and similiar is talked for him by majority crediting him in another sentence, "A Man becomes a poet when he falls in Love".

We all know that it was Plato himself who proclaimmed, "All Poets are Liers". 
Now if we look at history, Plato never wrote poems, probably he didn't wanted to be a lier, and this creates a debate among philosophers to argue, if Plato loved or not. If plato did loved truly, then why didn't be became a poet, and If he didn't loved, he trulywas a seeker of truth and not a lier, and never fell in love which we must accept whole-heartedly.

Thus plato defended his philosophy without getting married, for author couldn't found reliable source of history to know his wife. Hence, if plato had got married and loved truly, he himself would had been a lier by virtue of love.

Probably this is why Plato has been influencial in western philosophy. Hence we defended Plato for himself to let him reign till eternity.
Hence even author formally agrees to declare Plato as safe to read.
