Is Life Worth Living? by William Hurrell Mallock
page 10 of 281 (03%)

Either, that all kinds of happiness are equally _high_ that do not
interfere with others 55

Or, that it is only a _high_ kind of happiness that can be shared
by all 56

Both of which suppositions are false 57

The conditions of social health are a moral end only when we
each feel a personal delight in maintaining them 58

In this case they will supply us with a _small portion_ of the
moral aid needed 59

But this case is not a possible one 60

There is indeed the natural impulse of sympathy that might tend
to make it so 61

But this is counterbalanced by the corresponding impulse of
selfishness 63

And this impulse of sympathy itself is of very limited power 63

Except under very rare conditions 63

The conditions of general happiness are far too vague to do more
than very slightly excite it 64
