Socrates believed that the ultimate harm that could be inflicted upon a person is to corrupt their soul or disrupt their inner harmony. A truly good person is virtuous and possesses wisdom, which cannot be taken away by the actions of others. Therefore, even if a good person's body is harmed or destroyed, their true self will remain intact.
