But why seek to benefit A. by coercion applied to A.o His regard
for himself is greater than yours can be: his knowledge of what is
most beneficial to himself is greater than yours can be: his experience
of what has been most beneficial and most hurtful to himself
is greater than yours can be.

Why seek to benefit A. by coercion applied to B., C. and D. and
so forth? Coercion is evil — positive evil — suffering: absence of encrease
is but negative evil. No suffering is the result of it. A. is but one:
B. C. D. and the rest of them are many: by the number of them all,
after allowance made for the lessening of loss by the distribution of it,
is the quantity of the suffering produced by the coercion multiplied.

Encrease can not thus be sought to be given to production
otherwise than at the expence of equality: by violations made
of the rules of equality, for the importance of which to the greatest
happiness of the greatest number see above.

For security, yes without decrease and with encrease to the greatest
happiness of the greatest number the rules of equality may be violated: infringed
for encrease to abundance, without decrease to the greatest happiness
of the greatest number, they can not be infringed.

II. Negative means of encrease to the abundance fund, decrease
of consumption. In so far as it is by voluntary consumption
that decrease is made in the amount of the abundance fund
pleas by the respective proprietors, pleasure and security, in all their
various shapes, are the effects of it, and are in proportion to it: in
the case of by far the greatest proportion in quantity and value of
the produce of labour, subsistence, pleasure and security, in all
their several shapes, have place only in so far as consumption has
place. In each individual instance, from which of two causes, pleasure
or security, or both, are derived by him in greatest quantity —
viz from consumption or from avoidance of consumption, in
a word from preservation, is better known to the proprietor himself
than it can be to any body and not at all known to you.
