He compliments his theory of government rule with his theory of justice. Plato argues that justice occurs only when three parts of a man’s spirit‚ reason ‚soul ‚ and appetite are in consensus with his role in society.

M. Scott Peck in the beginning of the book rejects the assumption that life should be easy and only once we accept it can we ravel on the path of maturity.
