Jonathan Haidt Quotes

When Any ... Act Of Charity Or Of Gratitude, For Instance, Is Presented Either To Our Sight Or Imagination, We Are Deeply Impressed With Its Beauty And Feel A Strong Desire In Ourselves Of Doing Charitable And Grateful Acts Also. On The Contrary, When We See Or Read Of Any Atrocious Deed, We Are Disgusted With Its Deformity, And Conceive An Abhorrence Of Vice. Now Every Emotion Of This Kind Is An Exercise Of Our Virtuous Dispositions, And Dispositions Of The Mind, Like Limbs Of The Body, Acquire Strength By Exercise.24
