[116e] just and expedient are the same?

Alcibiades
But by Heaven, Socrates, I do not even know what I am saying, I feel altogether in such a strange state! For from moment to moment I change my view under your questioning.

Socrates
And are you unaware, my friend, what this feeling is?

Alcibiades
I am, quite.

Socrates
Well, do you suppose that if someone should ask you whether you have two eyes or three, two hands or four, or anything else of that sort, you would answer differently from moment to moment, or always the same thing?
