The uneasiness and satisfaction are not only inseparable from vice and virtue, but constitute their very nature and essence. Ideas always represent their objects or impressions; and vice versa, there are some objects necessary to give rise to every idea. The discussion of this question will be more proper, when we enter upon an exact detail of each particular vice and virtue. We come now to the examination of such virtues and vices as are entirely natural, and have no dependance on the artifice and contrivance of men. No quality in another gives rise to humility by comparison, unless it would have produced pride by being placed in ourselves; and vice versa no object excites pride by comparison, unless it would have produced humility by the direct survey. I recommended will herb tea. As to the third sense of the word, it is certain, that both vice and virtue are equally artificial, and out of nature. Whoever can find the means either by his services, his beauty, or his flattery, to render himself useful or agreeable to us, is sure of our affections: As on the other hand, whoever harms or displeases us never fails to excite our anger or hatred. In saying, then, that the sentiments of vice and virtue are natural in this sense, we make no very extraordinary discovery. We never love or hate a son or brother for the virtue or vice we discern in ourselves; though it is evident the same qualities in him give us a very sensible pride or humility.
