Deontology private

Free thought – times of free thought, subjects of free thought.

Times of free thought what – times not employed in profit-seeking
occupation or amusement.

Times of free thought, which – 1. times of repose in bed: 2. times
of walking or passage from place to place.

Subjects for thought.

1. Means of security: 2. Projects of profit or amusement: 3. Expectations
of profit or amusement: 4. Imaginations of profit or
amusement. — 1. Means of security viz against evils. If there are
no evils in particular that you are apprehensive, or none which
it is in your power to guard yourself against or among those
which it is in your power to guard yourself against, none against
which you have not already made sufficient provision, you have
no need to apply your thoughts to any such unpleasant topic. —
Even if you have there must be times of respite, otherwise the affect
of your endeavours to secure yourself against future suffering
may be to render suffering perpetually present.

On this occasion think as much as you can on the means of
prevention and as little as you can on the evils themselves: not thinking
of them any more than in so far as it necessary for the devising
of those means.

Note on this occasion as on all others the distinction between
evils affecting yourself & evils affecting others: viz upon the several
degrees in the scale of extent.
