(5) Read the passage below and answers the questions that follow
I am afraid you are very simple- minded, Socrates, but you ought to consider how the just man always
comes off worse than the unjust. For instance in any business relations between them, you won’t find
the just man better off at the end of the deal than the unjust. Again, in their relations with the state,
when there are taxes to be paid the unjust man will pay lesson the same income and when there is
anything to be got we’ll get a lot the just man nothing. If it is a question of office, if the just man
loses nothing else he will suffer from neglecting his private affairs ; his honesty will prevent him
appropriating public funds and his relations and friends will detest him because his principles will not
allow him to do them a service if it is not right. But quite the reverse is true of the unjust man. I am
thinking of the man referred to just now who can further his own advantage in a big way ; he’s the man
to study if you want to find how much more private gain there is in wrong doing than in right
The Republic by Plato
