Justice In The Eyes Of The Beholder

            In my mind, justice or injustice has to pertain to the person and their decision they make. Some people believe that men live unjust lives because they fear the consequences that will come with living that lifestyle. I think that the best life to live is the one where you make little mistakes and when you do make one, make sure that you don't ever make that mistake again. But, the problem with this notion is that people sometime get bored of trying to live a just life and that is when they stray to the other side. Some people think that when you do something wrong and don't get punished for it, it will come back and get you in the long run. I agree with that totally, because in the end everyone that is a bad person or commits crimes will get there punishment in the end and it might not be in this lifetime, but in the next. But I am going to disagree with Glaucon, due to the fact that I believe that to be a just person it is all in that persons mind and they make all of their own decision and control what they want in their lives. .
             I agree with Socrates right in the beginning when he says that, he thinks that men do not wish to "seem" unjust they really want to be just. Glaucon is trying to prove that men really would rather be unjust then just, but are really too afraid to go to the other side. I believe that every man has a certain good in them and it only takes time for it to come out in prove it. But some people have chosen the life of unjust and the reasoning for it is because they just want to follow their heart. Now in my mind, God put everyone on this Earth with a good intent and if they are corrupted in some way then they become unjust. Some people believe that the reason for the unjust life is due to the fact they dismiss their rewards and consequences [358]. They believe that it is done out of hunger to go out for their own sake and prove something to themselves.
