Every One Of Our Passions

As This World Was Not Intended To Be A State Of Any Great Satisfaction Or High Enjoyment, So Neither Was It Intended To Be A Mere Scene Of Unhappiness And Sorrow.

The Sum Of The Whole Is Plainly This: The Nature Of Man Considered In His Single Capacity, And With Respect Only To The Present World, Is Adapted And Leads Him To Attain The Greatest Happiness He Can For Himself In The Present World.

Virtue Is Not To Be Considered In The Light Of Mere Innocence, Or Abstaining From Harm; But As The Exertion Of Our Faculties In Doing Good.

The Object Of Self-love Is Expressed In The Term Self; And Every Appetite Of Sense, And Every Particular Affection Of The Heart, Are Equally Interested Or Disinterested, Because The Objects Of Them All Are Equally Self Or Somewhat Else.

Thus There Is No Doubt The Eye Was Intended For Us To See With.
