True happiness is something every person strives for, but the ultimate question is, how do people find complete happiness in corrupt environments? There is corruption everywhere on the Earth whether people like it or not. Everyone has their own opinions on how just societies should be run, but can a perfect society ever be fulfilled? Unfortunately, not everyone has the same views, beliefs, and morals, therefore, not everyone can always be pleased with the way societies are run. However, happiness can be found no matter the situation, according to ancient philosophers Socrates and his son Plato.
