A very play or romance may afford us instances of this pleasure, which virtue conveys to us; and pain, which arises from vice.

 ORDER YOUR REPORTS TODAY AND GET STARTED ON YOUR ROAD TO FINANCIAL FREEDOM ! To continue the experiment, I change anew the relation of ideas, and suppose the vice to belong to myself. The next question is, Of what nature are these impressions, and after what manner do they operate upon us? Here we cannot remain long in suspense, but must pronounce the impression arising from virtue, to be agreeable, and that proceding from vice to be uneasy. Where these angry passions rise up to cruelty, they form the most detested of all vices. The virtue and vice must be part of our character in order to excite pride or humility. No one will deny, that a negligence in this particular is a fault; and as faults are nothing but smaller vices, and this fault can have no other origin than the uneasy sensation, which it excites in others, we may in this instance, seemingly so trivial, dearly discover the origin of the moral distinction of vice and virtue in other instances.
