    Thanks I will look into that!

    Thanks.

    I think I have a better idea now.

    Plato also describes two types of pleasures - of the body and of the soul.

    Around 32 Plato seems to say the souls pleasure is the inverse of the body. That the souls pleasure is the hope of filling of the empty.

    I am not sure if he goes on to if this is "the" pleasure of the soul, or only one of the pleasures of the soul, where it also enjoys the pleasure of being filled.

    Additionally if filled does the soul automatically long for that feeling of emptiness? Or the feeling of longing again for that fullness which it now is experiencing?

    Or if even in those cases the soul is still longing for future pleasure? But it is not experiencing the current pleasures?

    Does Plato talk about this? I may have misunderstood him or he may go on to explain later?

    Thank you. I'm not sure I understand all of your comment.

    Why does he bring in good and wicked? And then go on to talk about good is more likely truth and evil false?

    good (just) is a more accurate /unbiased perception of reality than wickedness (unjust)?

    Although either way someone wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
