The sources to which all is to be attributed the pain-giving which it
is the object of negative effective benevolence to avoid or counteract
are to be found in Arrogance, Imperiousness, Scornfulness,
Overbearingness, Coldness, Closeness, Pride, & Affectation.
Any one of these vices may produce a similar result.
To the sufferer it matters little as to what whether his suffering emanates from one bad quality or
another. The Law of abstention applies to all. In some
minds some of them predominate, in other minds others.
They must be measured in the scale of moral defects by
the quantity of pain they cause. One man's scorn may
be less offensive than another man's coldness – & therefore
less mischievous. The arrogance of a man in an
certain elevated station may be more tolerable than the closeness
of a man in a station of inferiority, – or even of
equality. Of each of these vices some examples have
been given: – but each of them is susceptible of so many
modifications – each of being exhibited in such
varieties of words & deeds, – that it must be left to every
man to fill up from the pages of his own experience
the blanks that are left. To root out these vices
from the mind, is to extirpate their fruits. They
partake, more or less, of the two fundamental vices –
of imprudence & maleficence – & therefore cannot be
retained without injury & suffering.
