Well-being in a man During the length of time in
question — be it the whole of a the man's life or any this or that part
of it, a man's well-being will be at a higher pitch
at the higher degree of the scale, the greater the quantity of
pleasure and the less the quantity of pain which for and during that
length of time he has been experiencing experienced
But, to increase the sum amount of his own well-being
is actually the object of every man's wish — of every mans
endeavour, from the beginning of his life to the end or it,
that part alone which is passed in sleep excepted.
But to every each man what is pleasure? to every man
what is the greatest pleasure? To every man what is
pain? to every man what is the greatest pain? That
which to his reflection in his own judgement, assisted by his own memory, and
throught it that fixt pointed upon his own feelings is so. Reader, whoever
you are thou art, ask of yourself and answer to yourself this question
— — Is there — can there be — that man who knows or who
can know so as well as yourself what it has been is that has
given you pleasure, or what it has been is that has given you
most pleasure?
