[Again, since a man may do unjust acts and not yet have formed a

character of injustice, the question arises whether a man is

unjust in each particular form of injustice, say a thief, or

adulterer, or robber, by doing acts of a given character.

We may say, I think, that this will not of itself make any

difference; a man may, for instance, have had connection with

another's wife, knowing well with whom he was sinning, but he may

have done it not of deliberate choice but from the impulse of

passion: of course he acts unjustly, but he has not necessarily

formed an unjust character: that is, he may have stolen yet not

be a thief; or committed an act of adultery but still not be an

adulterer, and so on in other cases which might be

enumerated.][21]
