Note);therefore pleasure and pain are identical with desire orappetite, in so far as by external causes they are increased ordiminished, helped or hindered, in other words, they are everyman's nature; wherefore the pleasure and pain felt by one mandiffer from the pleasure and pain felt by another man, only in sofar as the nature or essence of the one man differs from theessence of the other; consequently, any emotion of oneindividual only differs, &c.
