Life goes more and more towards spontaneity. Life, as I have said, is motion in a thing, caused by itself, through pleasure and pain. With pleasure and pain present, a thing with mind wants to have the immediacy of action of paper burning, rain falling, an egg hatching. Where there is true spontaneity, a self knows wholly what it is, and is pleased with what it is; and spontaneity here is a good purpose. This means that spontaneity and being wholly pleased are synonymous.
