What is harm?
Socrates in many areas of the book talks about harm to enemies. Sometimes it is discussed as good, sometimes it is discussed as bad. Sometime just necessary. But what really is harm? Does he mean physical harm, or just permanent mental harm? I believe in this situation he means permanent mental harm. That might come through physical harm, but i believe he means having a lasting negative affect on a person.

Where is it described as good? What about using 335c as a definition of harm? Is there a reason that this isn't adequate?
