we find many who prefer the inferior and know the superiority of others and find no way to turn their hearts away from them. if it were for the sake of conformity in morals a person would not love someone who does not help him or agree with him. so we know that it is something in the soul itself.
ونحن نجد كثيرا ممن يؤثر الأدنى ويعلم فضل غيره ولا يجد محيدا لقلبه عنه . ولو كان للموافقة في الأخلاق لما أحب المرء من لا يساعده ولا يوافقه، فعلمنا انه شيء في ذات النفس.
