The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Lysis by Plato: Certainly, they replied.
And friends have all things in common, so that one of you can be no richer
than the other, if you say truly that you are friends.
They assented. I was about to ask which was the juster of the two, and
which was the wiser of the two; but at this moment Menexenus was called
away by some one who came and said that the gymnastic-master wanted him. I
supposed that he had to offer sacrifice. So he went away, and I asked
Lysis some more questions. I dare say, Lysis, I said, that your father and
mother love you very much.
Certainly, he said.
And they would wish you to be perfectly happy.
