[9]
Also （c） bad men
constantly seek the society of others and shun their own company, because when they are by
themselves they recall much that was unpleasant in the past and anticipate the same in the
future, whereas with other people they can forget. Moreover they feel no affection for
themselves, because they have no lovable qualities. Hence （e） such men
do not enter into their own joys and sorrows, as there is civil war in their souls;
one part of their nature, owing to depravity, is
pained by abstinence from certain indulgences while another part is pleased by it; one
part pulls them one way and another the other, as if dragging them asunder.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
