“That to which an agent definitely tends must be suited to it: for it would not tend to the thing except for some suitability to itself. But what is suitable to a thing is good for it. Therefore every agent acts to some good.”
— St. Thomas Aquinas
Summa Contra Gentiles, Bk. 3 Ch. 3
“I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want,
but I do the very thing I hate”
— Romans 7:15
