whether it's conscious or unconscious, it's ultimately your mind's fault for being let down. no one can force you to have x expectations on something.

Let me guess, Republic is your first Plato?

It grows on you. Read Gorgias first, Socrates and his interlocutors are way more at odds in that one. It's shorter too and outlines a lot of ideas discussed in detail in the Republic later.

The first book is actually disappointing, but Plato knew that. That's why he wrote the other nine.
