Emotion, which is suffering, ceases to be suffering as soon as we form a clear and precise picture of it.
Baruch SpinozaNature offers nothing that can be called this man's rather than another's; but under nature everything belongs to all.
Baruch SpinozaIn the state of nature, wrong-doing is impossible; or, if anyone does wrong, it is to himself, not to another. For no one by the law of nature is bound to please another, unless he chooses, nor to hold anything to be good or evil, but what he himself, according to his own temperament, pronounces to be so; and, to speak generally, nothing is forbidden by the law of nature, except what is beyond everyone's power.
