The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Alcibiades I by Plato: weaving and the other arts we take care of the things of the body?
ALCIBIADES: Clearly.
SOCRATES: Then the art which takes care of each thing is different from
that which takes care of the belongings of each thing?
ALCIBIADES: True.
SOCRATES: Then in taking care of what belongs to you, you do not take care
of yourself?
ALCIBIADES: Certainly not.
SOCRATES: For the art which takes care of our belongings appears not to be
the same as that which takes care of ourselves?
ALCIBIADES: Clearly not.
