Compensation
The difficulty lies
only in the case of Antipathy.To clear the way, we may begin with the laying the
two first species of resentment out of the case: for
as in those cases there is a real mischief done to
either to the party who harbours the resentment or
to some other, there is a clear demand for punishment
on the score for the purpose of prevention. The pleasure [then]
whatever it be which is reaped by any one from the
observance to the punishment is so much clear gain.
The only remaining case then is where the resentment
is a mere antipathy: producing not from any
natural and constant cause such as that of a
real injury, but to from an accidental and capricious
turn of the imagination.
Now it might seem at first right that upon the
Reason for the affirmative.principles we set out with even in this case from punishment
might be warranted on the score of compensation
. The party against whom the antipathy is,
is but one: those who harbour it are suppose a
thousand; or if that should not be deemed enough, let
us take a million. Upon this state of the case,
laying all consequences out of the question, it would
be understandable that unless the pain of the obnoxious
party were
a millions of times greater than the pleasure
which those to whom he was obnoxious would
each of them upon an average enjoy as seeing it,
it would be worth while upon the whole to subject him to
that harm.
