Kindly Feeling, though resembling Friendship, is not identical

with it, because it may exist in reference to those whom we do

not know and without the object of it being aware of its

existence, which Friendship cannot. (This, by the way, has also

been said before.) And further, it is not even Affection because

it does not imply intensity nor yearning, which are both

consequences of Affection. Again Affection requires intimacy but

Kindly Feeling may arise quite suddenly, as happens sometimes in

respect of men against whom people are matched in any way, I mean

they come to be kindly disposed to them and sympathise in their

wishes, but still they would not join them in any action,

because, as we said, they conceive this feeling of kindness

suddenly and so have but a superficial liking.
