The mystery about this ring is that I did not perform any form of bloody sacrifices to make the ring work. Behold when I went back to him my ring was already fortified with power to give me wealth, fame, longlife etc.

I was asked to come back in four days later. As a good friend he offer to take me out on a journey to prosperity of which I embacked on earlier this month,getting to his temple I was given procedures in getting one of his magic rings for money.i did all that was required as I was lectured by my friend all that will be needed. The friend am talking about is by name Sarah from Cameroon,one of the best business morgue in Ivory Coast. I am here to share a testimony on how I came in contact with a friend who has been helped by one spiritual doctor in Nigeria with a magic ring that has given him unending wealth, fame, connection etc. Good luck my people.i have something to share with everyone who will be opportune to come across this post.my name is Becky Diof who hails from Ivory Coast. Given this setup, it must be determined which man is happier-the just man or the unjust man. After all, as Glaucon points out, the just man must be properly tested to see whether he acts justly for the sake of justice or merely for the sake of the reputation and all that goes with it. He is burdened with a reputation for being unjust, despite his true nobility. In stark contrast, the just man, while truly just, is stripped of everything but his justice and his life. In short, though he is truly a master of injustice he is regarded by all as a just man. He is further to be blessed with wealth, companions, and an unblemished (though false) reputation for justice. To this end he is, for the sake of the argument, given great skill in the use of both persuasion and force and is equipped with various virtues such as bravery and strength. The unjust man must be the very pinnacle of injustice and must have all that he needs to be unjust and carry out his misdeeds effectively and secretly. In this challenge the perfectly unjust man is to be squared off against the just man. Glaucon finishes his case by presenting the details of his challenge. While such a person would be praised to her face, she would be regarded as a great fool for not using the power in her possession. Despite this, he does consider the possibility that someone might decline to use the ring to perform misdeeds. By nature, he claims, all living beings desire more than what they are actually due. This proves, to his satisfaction, that people act justly only under compulsion. Given his tale, Glaucon concludes that if identical rings were given to a just man and an unjust man, then both men would act unjustly. Using the power of the ring, he seduces the queen and, with her help, murders the king and takes control of the realm. In this tale the shepherd Gyges finds a magical ring of invisibility within a strange bronze horse that has been exposed by an earthquake.

In support of his claims that no one is willingly a follower of justice and that anyone who was free to be unjust would be unjust Glaucon tells the tale of the ring of Gyges. He further concludes that people accept justice because they are weak and that a person with the power to successfully carry out misdeeds would be a fool not to do so. He regards justice as a compromise between what is most desirable to the individual (doing misdeeds with impunity) and what is the most undesirable for the individual (being a hapless victim). Glaucon makes it clear that people do not enter into the agreement that gives rise to justice willingly and that this situation is not regarded as the best.

To avoid being victims, people come together and forge agreements and dub these agreements with the name “justice.” When people have been on both ends of misdeeds (giving and receiving), they quickly realize that the pains of being a victim far outweigh the benefits of being the victimizer. Glaucon begins by asserting that people find it desirable or good to inflict wrongdoings on others but these wrongdoers regarded being on the receiving end of misdeeds as undesirable. For the sake of the argument, Glaucon proposes to present a defense of injustice. The “ Ring of Gyges” begins with a challenge put forth by Glaucon-he wants Socrates to defend the just life and he wants the defense to show that justice is intrinsically preferable to injustice.
