Answer 2

Answer:

"Tension is uncomfortable, and people who are in tense situations will either act to change the situation or remove themselves from the situation completely."

Explanation:

Martin Luther king quoted Socrates a few times in his letter. In this letter he wrote to the religious leaders who criticized him for his way of prostration, for that reason he wrote the excerpt "tension is uncomfortable, and people who are in tense situations will either act to change the situation or remove themselves from the situation completely" alluding to the need that Socrates felt for creating tension in the mind so that individuals could ascend from the bondage of myths and half truths to the free realm of creative analysis and objective evaluation.
