Deontology Private – Heads of Cases Effective benevolence
One of the advantage
good effects produced to
by the habit of effective
benevolence is – that
in case of a rupture
between yourself and an
associate of yours, the
presumption
to particular investigation
will be against
him in the minds of
your common associates.
You have laid
up a fund of reputation
which works for
you without you knowing
it.
Let a man be naturally ever so
stupid, do not let him
see, much less give him
to understand, that you
think him so. Nothing
you can say to him
to this effect can make
him less so: and every
thing you say to him
on it may and
naturally will have
bad consequences to you
both: to him, by the
uneasiness it can not
fail to give him; to
yourself by the resistance
it can serve and will-will
to which to a greater or
less amount it can
not fail, on his part to exist in
his breast to provide.
