The healthy soul looks ahead past present pleasure or pain

And it is clear that the healthy soul—or at least the one wanting to be such—does these things, not looking so much at the present alone as foreseeing what also unto the future will meet from the things being accomplished. And if, something thought useful coming to be for the present, she foresees the bitterness in the future, dismissing what seems to be sweet she does the opposite, for the sake of not later falling into something hard; and if, the present being toilsome, good hopes succeed what appears harsh, she will voluntarily give herself over to the roughness of what would seem terrible to some, for the sake of attaining the sweet things that succeed the harsh ones because of having endured these.
