Laborious Punishment
A man who is compelled for a certain time to exercise any occupation,
is thereby during that time, with a very few
exceptions, ve restrained from exercising any other.
To lay a man therefore under a particular
restraint constraint of any kind, is for that time
to lay him under an almost universal restraint.
Now with respect to any given occupation
in particular, it is certain may or may not
be more pleasurable to a given man more pleasurable
than the one he is compelled to exercise:
but with respect to when the question is concerning al of those imaginable occupations
within his reach, it is certain that
there are must be some that in a short time would prove
more agreeable than that. The loss of clear value then of the pleasure
than that which a man suffers by loses being compelled to
any particular occupation, is equal to that of the greatest
of all the pleasures which had it not been
for the compulsion he might have enjoyed procured himself
had it not been for the compulsion he is made to undergo state of compulsion he is put into.
