“Now, no one goes willingly toward the bad or what he believes to be bad; neither is it in human nature, so it seems, to want to go toward what one believes to be bad instead of to the good. And when he is forced to choose between one of two bad things, no one will choose the greater if he is able to choose the lesser.” Plato, Protagoras 358d Each “level” of the human soul has its own Good. The Good of the lower soul is Pleasure, and the evil of the lower soul is Pain. The Good of the middle soul is Power, and the evil of the middle soul is Weakness. But the Good of the higher soul is Wisdom which culminates in union with the real Good of all reality. Therefore, you will always pursue the Good corresponding to the level of soul you are most identified with. As you continue to walk the lantern lit path of wisdom, your Good will change as your soul elevates towards the divine realm.
