Mode of annoyance by discourses.
The general rule for the abstention from the
infliction of all unnecessary pain – all pain unnecessary to
the avoidance of greater pain – or the production of a balance
of pleasure – will must be accommodated to the different cases
as they present themselves. The great moral Law is peremptory.
Exceptions excepted, inflict no pain. The province of
the Legislator & the moralist is to inquire into, – to
produce – to justify the exceptions.
To prevent the uneasiness produced by
discourse course where that uneasiness is in its general
results would be useless or pernicious is the object of the instructions
about to be offered. And as a primary precept.
Consider whether the words you are about
to employ are likely to produce uneasiness in the breast
of those to whom they are addressed or whom they may on
any reach.
