part of what should be an ongoing series--

--context: in discussing goods, someone keeps using cookies as an example.

what i should have said: "given the free choice, one could start to like cookies too much, and the particular good of cookies could be identified with the universal good, which, according to aquinas, is god-- would one then lose sight of the divine essence and become wretched, being rendered, in effect, some sort of...cookie monster?"
