HUMAN INTENTION.

Intention is a mental state that represents commitment to carrying out an action or actions. Thus, an intentional action is a function to accomplish a desired goal and is based on the belief that the course of action will satisfy a desire.
Whatever its nature, it is generally agreed that MIND is that which enables a being to have subjective awareness and intentionality towards their environment, to perceive and respond to stimuli.
Socrates had the intention that from a position of ignorance, sought the Truth and has no dogmatic program to follow, just a method for seeking Truth without any guarantee that we will find it. He found out that even the experts are just as ignorant about what things really are and concluded that it is better to have honest ignorance that self-deceptive ignorance. He followed his intention even at the point that he was condemned to death because of it.
At the trial for his life in 399BC, Socrates defense is recounted in Plato's Apology. Here Socrates appeared, despite his defense, not to acquit himself from all the accusations, but rather to deliberately ensure that he would be found guilty and thus condemned to death. In the trial he remained steadfast on his views and refused to give up his pursuit of truth, even if it cost his life.
Socrates told the jury: "Therefore if you let me go now saying to me, 'Socrates, this time we will not mind the reason of your prosecutor, and we will let you go, but upon one condition, thay you are not free to inquire and speculate in your way any more, and that if you are caught doing this again you shall die; -if this was the condition on which you let me go, I should reply; Men of Athens, I honor and love you; but I shall OBEY GOD rather than you, and while I have time and strength I shall never cease from the practice and teaching about virtue, justice and truth."
Socrates realization that taking the right course of action in his intention was more important than the one that would save him. He stated: "A man who is good for anything ought not to calculate the chance of living or dying; he ought only to consider whether in doing anything he is doing right or wrong -acting the part of a good man or of a bad." This is Socrates most cherished principle, that in dying for his beliefs he would be choosing the most noble action and the most obvious. His intention was to put forward his views of wisdom, virtue, and nobility that he believed to be his moral truths, not to clear his name, but to reveal the ignorance of his prosecutors, judges and fellow citizens. Against the charges of corrupting the mind of the youth, atheism, and introducing new deities, Socrates stated that he has been doing Athens a service by improving its beliefs of wisdom and virtue. Socrates regarded the charges as wholly unjustified, and claimed that his intention was to reform and improve both his moral outlook and other people's.
Socrates devoted his life to cross-examining other people about virtue; he urged them to pay attention to their souls, and not to wealth, power and other external advantages. He stated that his true intention and purpose for his actions was to show to the unexamined souls that life is not worth living when virtue, justice and truth are not pursued.
Socrates died for a noble cause: the belief that one should never change their beliefs because of their fear of death. He chose to give up his life as an example for future generations as he declared to the jury, "Wherefore, O men of Athens, I say to you, either you acquit me or not; whatever you do just know that I shall never alter my ways, not even if I have to die many times."
Socrates was not afraid of death and believed if he died for a noble cause then it was justified. He chose to accept his fate and in doing so, he secured his place as the greatest hero in the history of philosophy.
