A question here arises; whether it is good absolutely or that

which is good to the individuals, for which men feel Friendship

(these two being sometimes distinct): and similarly in respect of

the pleasurable. It seems then that each individual feels it

towards that which is good to himself, and that abstractedly it

is the real good which is the object of Friendship, and to each

individual that which is good to each. It comes then to this;

that each individual feels Friendship not for what is but for

that which conveys to his mind the impression of being good to

himself. But this will make no real difference, because that

which is truly the object of Friendship will also convey this

impression to the mind.
