Why we annex the idea of virtue to justice, and of vice to injustice.

 The uneasiness and satisfaction are not only inseparable from vice and virtue, but constitute their very nature and essence. Though we refuse to natural abilities the title of virtues, we must allow, that they procure the love and esteem of mankind; that they give a new lustre to the other virtues; and that a man possessed of them is much more intitled to our good-will and services, than one entirely void of them. Now, as a like uncertainty and variety of causes take place, even in natural objects, and produce a like error in our judgment, if that tendency to produce error were the very essence of vice and immorality, it should follow, that even inanimate objects might be vicious and immoral. But that reason, according to this hypothesis, discovers also vice and virtue. This is an increase of 49% from the prior quarter, and this study only counts people who have used the Internet in the last 30 days.
