to choose and the will, the capacity to choose. The person is also an animal with senses( touch,
taste, smell, hear and see), being/living , material and substance. The will of a person is governed
by the intellect which is ones knowledge of the truth and good that should perfect the person. But
if the intellect of the person is flawed, the senses of a person would govern the will which will
result in a person that acts according to what pleasures or satisfy the person even if it would not
lead to perfection.
The person naturally has a will and is free to choose with his freedom. The person is a subject who
does things out of its will and intellect. Actions done by the person create the experiences of a
person and forms its inner world. Man by nature is a social being which needs to express
themselves and their inner worlds by the gift of speech. Man is perfected with the help of other
people for self-fullfillment.
The self-fullfilment of a person can be done in married life and also the celibate life. The persons
subjectivity is the result of the persons freedom to choose and think.
