In The Republic‚ Plato plays around with the argument that it is better to be just than unjust. His vessel for showing this is through the forming of an “ideal” city.

I chose to not overindulge myself‚ and to focus on applying negative visualization and self-control to my life. At the end of the night I would write down if something was hard or problematic that correlated with my new found Stoic life. Day two reads “I was hungry this afternoon and The Nest was closed.
