The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Lysis by Plato: sort?
The latter, he said.
Then that which is neither good nor evil may be in the presence of evil,
but not as yet evil, and that has happened before now?
Yes.
And when anything is in the presence of evil, not being as yet evil, the
presence of good arouses the desire of good in that thing; but the presence
of evil, which makes a thing evil, takes away the desire and friendship of
the good; for that which was once both good and evil has now become evil
only, and the good was supposed to have no friendship with the evil?
None.
