					<description><![CDATA[I always felt that the discussion Socrates takes up (not sure where), and which Aristotle continues (somewhere in the Nicomacean Ethics, but I&#039;m too lazy to dig it up), concerning the nature of choice as always tending towards a (perceived) good deals with a phenomenon similar to the one Paul addresses in terms of flesh/spirit or old-man/new-creation.  

Specifically this similarity is pronounced when Socrates has to deal with the fact that people do things that they &quot;know&quot; are bad for them (e.g., eating that slice of rich chocolatey cake after my triple bypass surgery).  Socrates finds himself asking the same question as Paul:  why do we fail to do the things we ought to? or conversely, why do we do things we don&#039;t actually want to do?  Socrates simply asks this question more clinically, more &quot;objectively&quot; then Paul is able to do in the midst of his spiritual agonies (or whatever).]]></description>
