A mode of annoyance which does not necessarily assume
superiority is, direct or virtual inquisitiveness into the
private affairs of the person addressed. By such interrogations
pain will almost certainly be excited – for In ordinary
cases the communication will be spontaneous if it
be on the whole desirable that the knowledge should
be conveyed. At all events the right of judging is whether the communication should be made is with
the party inquired of & not with the inquirer. The inquiry
creates pain to you the inquirer if the information be refused – pain
to the other party if it be unwillingly given – And in
many cases pain to both. And where pain to either
is a probable consequence – the motive to abstention
from the inquisitiveness. should check its expression.
