Wherein, etc.

1) "It is in his being the only one to possess it wherein lies the value of the thing considered to be good". Is it necessary to use a comma before "wherein"?

2) "His impression that the suffering of others is morally wrong as well as the unpleasantness he experiences are imposed upon him". Is this correct?

Thanks,

Sextus

Hello Sextus I would say: 1) 'The value of the thing considered to be good lies in his being the only one to possess it'; or: 'It is in his being the only one to possess it that the value of the thing considered to be good lies'. ' MrP
