Lorem Ipsum passage
- "On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and
- dislike
men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of
- pleasure of the
moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot
- foresee the pain and
trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal
- blame belongs to those who
fail in their duty through weakness of
- will, which is the same as saying
through shrinking from toil and pain.
- These cases are perfectly simple
and easy to distinguish.
- In a free hour, when our power of choice is
untrammelled and
- when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like
best,
- every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided.
- But in
certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or
- the obligations
of business it will frequently occur that
- pleasures have to be
repudiated and annoyances accepted.
- The wise man therefore always holds
in these matters to this principle of selection:
- he rejects pleasures to
secure other greater pleasures, or
- else he endures pains to avoid worse
pains."
