(4) But, as the terms love and hatred are used in
reference to external objects, we will employ other names for the emotions
now under discussion: pleasure accompanied by the idea of an external
cause (So Van Vloten and Bruder. The Dutch version and Camerer read,
"an internal cause." "Honour" = Gloria.) we will style Honour, and the
emotion contrary thereto we will style Shame: I mean in such cases as
where pleasure or pain arises from a man's belief, that he is being
praised or blamed: otherwise pleasure accompanied by the idea of an
external cause (So Van Vloten and Bruder. The Dutch version and Camerer
read, "an internal cause." is called self-complacency, and its contrary
pain is called repentance. (30:5) Again, as it may happen (II:[xvii]
Coroll.) that the pleasure, wherewith a man conceives that he affects
others, may exist solely in his own imagination, and as ([xxv] ) everyone
endeavours to conceive concerning himself that which he conceives will
affect him with pleasure, it may easily come to pass that a vain man may
be proud and may imagine that he is pleasing to all, when in reality he
may be an annoyance to all.
Prop. [XXXI] If we conceive that anyone loves, desires, or hates
anything which we ourselves love, desire, or hate,
we shall thereupon regard the thing in question with
more steadfast love, &c.
