  This optimism suggests that the motivations to do what is right are  acquired early in moral education, built into a soul that might  become, eventually, perfectly just. And this in turn suggests one  reason why Socrates might have skipped the question of why the  psychologically just can be relied upon to do what is right. Socrates might assume that anyone who is psychologically just must have  been raised well, and that anyone who has been raised well will do  what is right. So understood, early childhood education, and not  knowledge of the forms, links psychological justice and just action.
