Prompt: ~Harm Or No Harm~

Prompt: In your opinion, how can acting “right” (i.e. justly) help or harm the achievement of happiness? In your answer you need to first establish, in true Socratic fashion, what you mean by "right" (justice) and what you mean by happiness. What do you think Socrates would say about what you wrote and/or what do you think Thrasymachus would say?

Well i believe that with every great cause theres a catch to it. Or like a saying "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" So if you do something right or something good then there might be a catch. For example, when you have to go to college but its like clear across the country your family members don't want you to go because they'll miss you. But you want whats best for you so you have to go so you can reach your goal to achieve your life long dream, but as doing so your hurting your family members. This might not relate at all to the question but yah.

Justice: Doing Something right


My version of Happiness is doing something that you enjoy. If you love to play soccer or draw pictures then that would be your kind of happiness. As well, one thing will not make everyone happy.

They would probably ask for clarification on what i mean by "right" or "justice"
Also NEVER harm somebody for selfish reasons. Or revenge. Only for self-defense or being assaulted 1st.
