14. (I.) Not to will to do evil to the neighbor is of charity. Everyone sees that charity does no evil to the neighbor; for charity is love towards the neighbor, and he who loves anyone fears to do evil to him. There is a conjunction of souls between them. Whence it is that when one does evil to him to whom he is conjoined by love, he has a perception in his soul as if he were doing evil to himself. Who can do evil to his children, to his wife, to his friends? For to do evil is against the good of love.
