The magnitude of a pleasure or a pain in any one
of its qualities, may compensate or overbalance its deficiency
in any other.

A pleasure may or a pain may be fruitful or
barren –

A pleasure may be fruitful in pleasures or in
pains – fruitful in pleasures like their parent, or in pleasures
or in pleasures of another character – it may be fruitful
also in pains – And in the same manner a pain may be fruitful in pains & pleasures.

When pains & pleasures are barren the calculation
of interest is easy – The task of the moralist becomes more
complicated when pains & pleasures produce fruits unlike
themselves

A pleasure or a pain may be derived either
from another pleasure or pain – or by the act which produces
that other pleasure or pain. If the act be the source of
the derived pleasure or pain, it is the act that is fruitful – if it be
the pleasure that produces the pleas secondary pleasure
or pain, – the fecundity is in the pleasure.

The pleasure that is produced by the
contemplation of the pleasure enjoyed by another is a
pleasure of sympathy.

The pain that is suffered by the
contemplation of the pain experienced by another is a
pain of sympathy.

The pleasure enjoyed or the contemplation
of the pain suffered by another is a pleasure of antipathy.

The pain suffered by the contemplation
of the pleasure enjoyed by another is a pain of antipathy.

The benevolence of a man must be
measured by the number of beings out of whose pains & pleasures
he draws his own pleasures & pains of sympathy.
