Excerpt from A Dissertation on the Influence of the Passions: In the Production and Modification of Disease Hence it is, in fact, the most lucid exhibition of the operation of Attraction. Thus, in that state of mind called Rancour, where the greatest possible aversion or abhorrence is supposed to exist, its force is commensurate only with the protraction of revenge; it dies instantly when our eagerness to injure the hated object is glutted. This is the Attraction of the mind to Evil. The Passions, according to their general acceptation, are merely the intense exertion of some of these modifications of attraction; or where that attraction is no longer obedient to the direction of Reason. In this state of over-exertion even the principle which naturally inclines us to good, often becomes as pernicious as that which makes us prone to evil. A Passion, in strict language, however, means a sudden and violet commotion of the mind, accompanied and distinguished by certain preternatural phenomena of the voice, gesture, or expressions; and "opposed tot hat state of tranquility wherein a man is master of himself."
