Incoming stream; source: The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas, eighteen eighty one file two hundred and seventy six, chapter one hundred and forty nine, titled Theory of Benefits. Stream start:
What is a benefit? It is an act that causes some privation on the part of the beneficiary to cease. Once the essential effect is produced - that is, once the privation has indeed ceased - the organism returns to its previous state of indifference. Suppose you have tightened your waistband too far; to make the discomfort cease, you loosen it, breathe, savor an instant of pleasure, your organism returns to indifference, and you no longer think of your fingers, which carried out the act. Just as nothing lasts, so it is natural that memory should fade; it is no air plant, it needs soil in which to root.
