If you act justly, will you find happiness? (Socrates)
I think that if you act justly you can find happiness but i also think that if you act unjustice you will also find happiness. I think that there is different types of happiness. If you act justly i think that you would feel happy and peaceful but if you act unjustly i think you can be happy but you will feel guilty. Let me give examples: If a criminal doesn't act justly to his community and gets away with it he will feel happy because he didn't get caught but he will also feel guilty. I think that there is different definitions for justice and happiness but this is my definition of them.

I like your example used for acting justly and facing the consequences. I was wonder what you meant in the last sentence about there being different definitions of justice and happiness because you you never stated what they were.
So I think what I got from this is that you agree with Socrates. That sometimes you have to go outside of justice to achieve justice and happiness.
I like that criminal analogy you used, it helped prove your point.
