It Is Not At All

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.

The Private Interest Of The Individual Would Not Be Sufficiently Provided For By Reasonable And Cool Self-love Alone; Therefore The Appetites And Passions Are Placed Within As A Guard And Further Security, Without Which It Would Not Be Taken Due Care Of.

Happiness Or Satisfaction Consists Only In The Enjoyment Of Those Objects Which Are By Nature Suited To Our Several Particular Appetites, Passions, And Affections.

Every Man Hath A General Desire Of His Own Happiness; And Likewise A Variety Of Particular Affections, Passions, And Appetites To Particular External Objects.

The Satisfaction That Accompanies Good Acts Is Itself Not The Motivation Of The Act; Satisfaction Is Not The Motive, But Only The Consequence.
