Such an investigation conducted in a benevolent & inquiring spirit
would assuredly lay open vast fields of pain – in which the
tares of misery might be torn up by the roots,– & perhaps
no small portion of the ground be covered with the seeds
of happiness.

How many little pleasures are interfered with by
the meddling of unwelcome intruders – how many checked
by the asceticism – or the ill-nature – or the ridicule – or the
scorn of a bystander. How many trifling vexations are
aggravated by the dissocial qualities. – or heedless deportment
of a looker on. At the end of a day how much total loss is
there not of happiness by the inattention to those small
elements of which it is composed – how much in the What an
aggregate amount is made up of those particles of pain
produced by carelessness alone.

The time will perhaps arrive when all these
sources of evil will be investigated, – & grouped together in their distinguishing characteristics
illustrated by examples and their inconsistency with virtue be made so apparent –
that opinion will take charge of their extirpation – that
opinion which to enlighten & to make influential is
the highest purpose of the moralist.
