Nothing causes greater vanity than any shining quality in our relations; as nothing mortifies us more than their vice or infamy. Fastest Websites!!! (Hosted on the best servers and bandwidth anywhere!) We shall begin with examining the passions of pride and humility, and shall consider the vice or virtue that lies in their excesses or just proportion. Now it may, in like manner, be objected to the present system, that if virtue and vice be determined by pleasure and pain, these qualities must, in every case, arise from the sensations; and consequently any object, whether animate or inanimate, rational or irrational, might become morally good or evil, provided it can excite a satisfaction or uneasiness. To which we may add, that this agreement or disagreement, not admitting of degrees, all virtues and vices would of course be equal. When we blame any action, in any situation, the whole complicated object, of action and situation, must form certain relations, wherein the essence of vice consists.
