If there is no air of positivity around, they will grow lonely and depressed. The human mind is mainly self-sufficient but requires one main thing: Trust in others. Later, Socrates has to discredit the idea of a family. But I think if it does exist, it refers to your emotions, not your occupation. I’m not actually even sure if I like the term “Human nature.” It puts one’s soul in a category. I don’t know whether we just disagree about the definition of nature. Darn it, Polemarchus! At one point Socrates states that people who are skilled at the same thing are of one nature. But just as he is about to get into this, he is interrupted and asked to talk about education more. He states there are four kinds of bad cities. Socrates begins Book 5 saying that the city/person they have described is good and ideal, and all others are bad. Hey! Today I will be writing about Book 5 of the Republic.
