The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Gorgias by Plato: CALLICLES: Yes.
SOCRATES: And do you call the fools and cowards good men? For you were

CALLICLES: Certainly.
SOCRATES: And did you never see a foolish child rejoicing?
CALLICLES: Yes, I have.
SOCRATES: And a foolish man too?
CALLICLES: Yes, certainly; but what is your drift?
SOCRATES: Nothing particular, if you will only answer.
CALLICLES: Yes, I have.
