1398. WHO THOSE ARE WHO ARE IN THE INFERNAL TUN There are those who in their lifetime desire to be more important than others, and thus they want to be first in whatever is being done, yea, not only do they eagerly desire to be first in the world, but also to be supreme in heaven. Thus there is continual rivalry with others for super-eminence, and although there is at the same time no open hatred, they, nevertheless, enjoy no charity towards the neighbor. They are in the infernal tun, but still they are not evil. They act from instinct, for having been deprived of rationality, they can be bent in any direction whatsoever. 1748, Mar. 15.
