The Passions
Yet commonly much more mischievous
violation of the law of self regarding
prudence. The passion can not receive it's
gratification but pain is produced in the breast
of the individual by whose act the passion
has been excited; but neither in his breast
can it have been productive of that effect
without producing in that same breast
in so far as he is apprized of the
cause whereby that pain has been produced
a counter desire to giver birth on his part
to pain pain in the breast of him
by whom his pain has been produced. To
the first pain viz. that which has
accompanied the birth of the passion of
anger there is always a termination &
that commonly a speedy one; but to the
second & remote pain which may have
been the constituted the third link in
the chain of causes & effects there is
no certain termination; in the breasts
of the party of whom vengeance, as the
phrase is has been taken anger in
the more durable form, in which it is
called enmity has been created, and to
the duration of this permanent passion
or to the quantity of mischief to which [+]
[+] it may happen
to give birth no
determinate limits
can be assigned.
