Wheres Aaron? my mother asks. I thought he was with you. 44 Is this the Dartmouth guys name? I asked. Or the name of the guy where the party was? I said:Rye straight. § 4. There is still one fact which requires to be noticed (in addition to the existence of a power of self-formation) before the doctrine of the causation of human actions can be freed from the confusion and misapprehensions which surround it in many minds. When the will is said to be determined by motives, a motive does not mean always, or solely, the anticipation of a pleasure or of a pain. I shall not here inquire whether it be true that, in the commencement, all our voluntary actions are mere means consciously employed to obtain some pleasure or avoid some pain. It is at least certain that we gradually, through the influence of association, come to desire the means without thinking of the end; the action itself becomes an object of desire, and is performed without reference to any motive beyond itself. Thus far, it may still be objected that, the action having through association become pleasurable, we are, as much as before, moved to act by the anticipation of a pleasure, namely, the pleasure of the action itself. But granting this, the matter does not end here. As we proceed in the formation of habits, and become accustomed to will a particular act or a particular course ofconduct because it is pleasurable, we at last continue to will it without any reference to its being pleasurable.Although, from some change in us or in our circumstances, we have ceased to find any pleasure in the action, or perhaps to anticipate any pleasure as the consequence of it, we still continue to desire the action, and consequently to do it. In this manner it is that habits of hurtful excess continue to be practiced although they have ceased to be pleasurable; and in this manner also it is that the habit of willing to persevere in the course which he has chosen, does not desert themoral hero, even when the reward, however real, which he doubtless receives from the consciousness of well-doing, is any thing but an equivalent for the sufferings he undergoes, or the wishes which he may have to renounce. Metaphysicians, however, have probed the question deeper, and given an account of Substance considerably more satisfactory than this. Substances are usually distinguished as Bodies or Minds. Of each of these, philosophers have at length provided us with a definition which seems unexceptionable. And if a fuse blows, Ill tell you where you can find me,’ Cleo said. ‘Back in the car, with all bags packed.’ The family was beginning to recognize that Annie was a world traveler. Moreover, there seemed to be a pattern to her comings and goings. She would fly off hither and yon, stay in one place for a month or two, move on to another place where she would live for a while on the money my mother kept sending her, and then move on again in search of yet another guru or yet another location for the jewelry shops she opened and closed with alarming frequency. At last, she would come back to New York to settle in with my mother again, something Mama began to appreciate less and less as the years went by. Her longest trip— her second one to India — ended in the spring of 1990. A metaphor, then, is not to be considered as an argument, but as an assertion that an argument exists; that a parity subsists between the case from which the metaphor is drawn and that to which it is applied. This parity may exist though the two cases be apparently very remote from one another; the only resemblance existing between them may be a resemblance of relations, an analogy in Fergusons and Archbishop Whately’s sense: as in the preceding instance, in which an illustration from agriculture was applied to mental cultivation. Inside yourhead is what Im saying. Even if Anniedid hear someone talking to her, that doesn’t make her crazy. She heard a voice, she talked back to it. That isn’t so unusual you know. I don’t know why you’re making such a big deal of it. If Annie ran away, it wasn’t because any voices told her to. It’s only because I wouldn’t give her the money. I guess she doesnt wear jewelry, right? I know at once who is calling and why. Nobody but my mother ever calls me at two in the morning, and then only to tell me that my sister is gone again. But though this conditional conclusiveness of the evidence of experience, which is sufficient for the purposes of life, is all that I was necessarily concerned to prove, I have given reasons for thinking that the uniformity, as itself a part of experience, is sufficiently proved to justify undoubting reliance on it. This Dr. Ward contests, for the following reasons: I was not aware that Id been watching her. But perhaps I was. It occurs to me that ever since I spoke to Bertuzzi, I’ve been studying Annie for any indication that she may be listening to voices inside her head. We are silent for several moments. At last, I ask, Well... how do you feel? When did you stop...? So here we are on a hot muggy night in August, commiserating and plotting because Annie has fled once again, and were all afraid that before morning Sicily will happen all over again. Brilliant! Roy said. ‘Well done, finally! Please God they can give us something to eat, I’m starving.’ Leave me alone! Well cross that bridge when we come to it. There’s a lot at stake — co-operation between the police of two states for one thing. Chapter II..
