The Passions
Since then Anger can not have place
without vice in both shapes, what is to
be done? Can man exist without anger?
Without anger can injuries be averted, can
self defence, can self preservation be
provided for?
Answer. Certainly not without production
of pain in the breast of the individual
by whom injury has been inflicted. But
to the production of this pain anger
in not necessary. Anger is not necessary
any more than on the part of a Surgeon
by whom to save life a limb is amputated
anger excited by view of the suffering of
the patient and by contemplation of the still
greater evil which without such amputation
is about to have place is necessary. That
anger never should have place is not possible;
is not consistent with the structure of
the human mind. This however may be said
and without exception that in every case
the less there is of it, the better: for whatsoever
of pain is necessary to the production of the
useful effect, will be much better
measured out without the passion than
by it.
