All present pain, whatever it be, makes a part of our present misery: but all absent good does not at any time make a necessary part of our present happiness, nor the absence of it make a part of our misery.
Oinaze orok, dena delakoak, gure miseriaren zati bat osatzen du, baina falta den ongi orok ez du gure oraingo zorionaren ezinbesteko zati bat osatzen, eta haren ausentziak ere ez, gure miseriaren zati bat.
