Deontology 4 Prudent
Self-regarding
Thoughts

Thoughts which considered with reference to the ultimate object are
purely of the self-regarding class, — considered with reference to their
consequences and the causes of those consequences, have regard either
to those consequences which have for their causes events purely physical
or such as have for their causes human actions.

These actions are either a man's own or those of other persons —
Thoughts which have for their objects consequences considered as future
are stiled expectations. No small part of a man's happiness
or unhappiness depends upon the state of his expectations

In so far as a pleasure which has been the object of expectation
fails of being experienced a pain of the positive cast is experienced
in consequence of the failure. For the designation of this pain
the french language furnishes no other than a compound appelletive
viz peine disttante trompée: pain or frustrated expectation: in english
in one word pain of disappointment.

Of such importance is the pain thus denominated — such its influence
on the aggregate of happiness that it constitutes a principal object
of regard in that branch of the field of law which is called the
Civil Branch: and the arrangements employed for the exclusion
lit form the principal part of the arrangements in the making of
which the labours employed in that field are occupied.

Why give the Proprietor that which is his own rather than to any
ther person? Because by giving it to any person other than the
Proprietor you wd. produce the pain of disappointment: a
pain which in the opposite case has no place
