2 The social or sympathetic sanction is that which grows out of a man's
personal or domestic relations – it is a sort of mixture of the selfish with
the social regard. To some extent its judgment is created by his own
influences – it is the application to himself of that domestic code of which
he has been one of the framers. If he be a father his children will
in the ratio of their respect for his opinions & practice recognize his
authority, and adopt his standard of right & wrong. The domestic
sanction may be more or less efficient, – more or less enlightened than
the popular sanction. Its operation is more direct & immediate than the
popular can be, in in as far as men's a man's happiness for the most part depends more on those
who are near him – habitually, – or frequently, – than upon those who
are remote. The social & the popular sanction act & re-act upon
each other, – the popular sanction being in fact the great recipient of
all the social sanctions.
