1 Desires, which follow from our nature in such a manner, 2 that they can be understood through it alone, are those which are 3 referred to the mind, in so far as the latter is conceived to 4 consist of adequate ideas: the remaining desires are only 5 referred to the mind, in so far as it conceives things 6 inadequately, and their force and increase are generally defined 7 not by the power of man, but by the power of things external to 8 us: wherefore the former are rightly called actions, the latter 9 passions, for the former always indicate our power, the latter, 10 on the other hand, show our infirmity and fragmentary knowledge. 11 12
