In fact now that I think about it, Socrates was killed for his inquisitive nature; to prod, imagine and argue the legitimacy of things. He even went so far as to say that what is wrong or right holds no meaning, and that only the state could dictate such judgment. In other words, it’s all bullshit and there is no wrong or right except for what is controlled by a government or by a majority. Though he argues that in a perfect world, the majority would not be in charge.
Socrates was very much a man lead by his emotions, that's abundantly clear in Apology and Crito, Plato even wrote of his affection and love for the imagination and the damning of simple regurgitation of facts.
