No, only poverty.Socrates
And what in his bodily resources? You would say that badness there is weakness or disease or ugliness or the like?Polus
I would.Socrates
And in soul too you believe there is a certain wickedness?Polus
Of course.Socrates
And do you not call this injustice, ignorance, cowardice, and so forth?Polus
Certainly I do.
