Opportunity Cost and Plato

As I was searching through my books for quotes for my essay...I came upon this:

"Do you not think, he said that in general such a man's concern is not with the body but that, as far as he can, he turns away from the body towards the soul?"

For some reason, opportunity cost just jumped into my mind. Opportunity cost is what we've been learning about in Econ these past few weeks - it's the value of what you give up in order to do something else. it's basically the next best thing that you could have had if you hadn't chosen what you chose.

if that makes any sense at all.

it just popped into my head. not sure why. but it did.
