Some rules of positive benevolence & beneficence
may be made the immediate source of happiness amidst
Rule of positive benevolence and beneficence
or the daily events of life

1. Whenever you have nothing else to do that is in other word in other words whenever
you have no particular object in view of pleasure or profit
of immediate good(a) (a) i.e. the at specific pleasure comfort or example from a security against specific pain or uneasiness as more or less and determinate or remote good, set yourself
to do good, in some shape or other, to other men is sensitive to men to sensitive
beings rational or irrational: assignable or unassignable to one or to many - to some
individual or to the whole race.

In so doing, and in proportion as you do so, you will be
laying up producing a stock of sympathy and good reputation, laid
up in the breasts the hands of others ready upon occasion to be
brought into action for your advantage. In the meantime,
whatsoever be the result in both or either of these to you or to them
shapes you will have been giving exercise to your own
powers: give reaping giving to exercise to your mind faculties, mental
and bodily, both or either, exercise exercise and by means of such
exercise of power strength: and in the
mean time Your reward will be at all events to experience and enjoying the pleasure of power,
that sort of pleasure which is capable of being reaped from the
mere exercise of power, independently of all advantage
from any in the shape of the fruit of labors in the or of
shape of any fruit any other fruit or result of such exercise.

That pleasure may be reaped from the mere exercise
of power abstracted made independently of any all fruit expected from it it is
true beyond disputed dispute: it is proved to be such so by universal experience.
Witness the pleasure derived from plays games of skill from where
all pecuniary profit seeking is excluded: for example as among mental
exercises, chess and draughts, amongst athlete athletic bodily exercises
walking and riding with extraordinary speed or perseverance.
