Lessons by our Holy Fathers
Goodness, so far as the intellect is concerned, is a dispassionate predilection for the spirit; evil is an impassioned attachment to the senses.
Goodness, so far as the senses are concerned, is the impassioned activity of the body under the stimulus of pleasure; evil is the state destitute of such activity.
St Maximos the Confessor
