Deontology Private

2. Of comportment towards equals.

Of equality the nature and existence is as easily
conceived as that of superiority and inferiority: it being
a negation of both.

But between no two persons is the existence of
it capable of being demonstrated, or with any thing like
precision capable of being ascertained.

Suppose, for argument sake, the existence of it
ascertained as between yourself, whoever you are, and
another person whoever he is. By from self particularly, you
in your own scale may be pleased above him; he in
his scale above you.

This difference therefore it belongs to you to bear constantly
in mind as well with regard to beneficence as with
regard to self-regarding prudence.

The difference, however, is not so great in the
case of those classes which have least, as in the case
of those which have most powerful powerless incentives to emulation.
Examples — day-labourers on the one hand
professional men on the other
