a want of liberality, — in the part of him who has been
irritated by the repression of opinions he took to be his own — it
is not necessary that you should give pain to the speaker
who in the introduction of a disagreeable had
perhaps no intention to hurt the feelings of his neighbor

will not be till other means have been
tried — If you can service the conversation away to
pleasurable topics, by any other than harmful agencies? —
that is your duty.

And, as a necessary consequence of this
the arts of benevolence cannot be better exercised than
in occasions where we are forced as it were into the
company of others, than by the choice of pleasurable
topics of conversation — a little attention will discover
what in those topics. To detect what are the peculiar
of another man's mind, — or experience — or
knowledge — is among the happiest of discoveries.
Its exercise is complimentary to the other party
& instructive to ourselves.
