Užitek in bolečina
“What a strange thing, my friends,” said Socrates, “this seems to be that people call pleasure! How curiously it is bound up with what seems its opposite, pain: the two will not come to a person together, yet if someone pursues one and catches it, he is almost always compelled to take the other too, as though they were two creatures joined at a single head. And I think,” he said, “that if Aesop had thought of them, he would have composed a fable: a god, wishing to reconcile them in their quarrel but finding himself unable to do so, joined their heads together. That is why, whenever one comes to anyone, the other follows after.”

Ὡς ἄτοπον, ἔφη Σωκράτης, ὦ ἄνδρες, ἔοικέ τι εἶναι τοῦτο, ὃ καλοῦσιν οἱ ἄνθρωποι ἡδύ· ὡς θαυμασίως πέφυκε πρὸς τὸ δοκοῦν ἐναντίον εἶναι, τὸ λυπηρὸν, τῷ ἅμα μὲν αὐτὼ μὴ ἐθέλειν παραγίγνεσθαι τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ, ἐὰν δέ τις διώκῃ τὸ ἕτερον καὶ λαμβάνῃ, σχεδόν τι ἀναγκάζεσθαι ἀεὶ λαμβάνειν καὶ τὸ ἕτερον, ὥσπερ ἐκ μιᾶς κορυφῆς συνημμένῳ δύʼ ὄντε. Καί μοι δοκεῖ, ἔφη, εἰ ἐνενόησεν αὐτὰ Αἴσωπος, μῦθον ἂν συνθεῖναι, ὡς ὁ θεὸς βουλόμενος αὐτὰ διαλλάξαι πολεμοῦντα, ἐπειδὴ οὐκ ἐδύνατο, ξυνῆψεν εἰς ταὐτὸν αὐτοῖς τὰς κορυφὰς, καὶ διὰ ταῦτα, ᾧ ἂν τὸ ἕτερον παραγένηται, ἐπακολουθεῖ ὕστερον καὶ τὸ ἕτερον.
