[4]
But on the other hand to see another pained by our own misfortunes
is painful, as everyone is reluctant to be a cause of pain to his friends. Hence manly
natures shrink from making their friends share their pain, and unless a man is excessively
insensitive, he cannot bear the pain that his pain gives to them; and he will not suffer
others to lament with him, because he is not given to lamentation himself. But weak women
and womanish men like those who mourn with them, and love them as true friends and
sympathizers. However, it is clear that in everything we ought to copy the example of the
man of nobler nature.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
