Few men who can contemplate altogether without uneasiness
at any rate if brought home in a close and particular manner
to their perception or imagination — the suffering pain
suffered or supposed to be sufferred by a fellow creature:
of such uneasiness the nominal seat is in the sympathetic
affections, and the name of it pain of sympathy. In the idea
of this pain consists discomposed the force of the with which the smpathetic sanction tends
on every occasion to restrain the person in question from
engaging in any act the tendency of which appears to
him to be the giving birth to the sense of pain in the
breast of a fellow creature. If as is by supposition
the case where he has actually been the intended
author of such pain the act by which it
has been produced has been performed the force of
this principle of restraint must have been overcome
by the superior force of some motive or motives
acting in an opposite direction: but supposing
no such counter-motives in operation, the restraint
produced by the sanction here in question will always
be an affective one.
