Appetite
Concupiscible

1.
We come now to another case of Pains and Pleasures.
Those we have spoken of hitherto may be
termed Pleasures of the Concupiscible Appetite. Concupiscere is to desire.

in it.

Irascible

2.

was about to take: A pain of disappointment
came in its place. [I was in pain: the cause
of it was before me. It was a sensitive being
the man, that did it.] He ran: I followed
I came up with him. I conceived a wish wished to give him

a pleasure

by a pain:
and is great only in
proportion to it.

Nevertheless while it subsists it must be allowed
for to be a pleasure. Tho' it were ten times
more fatal than it is, that is tho' it
draw after it ten times more pain after
it than it does: while it lasts it is a pleasure:
it produces effects in as such: it
serves for a motive: and that in the most
powerful degree as a pleasure therefore
we must speak of it.

To be happy for a given time, must is to
have that time filled up with pleasures.
