Whether counsel is about all things that we do?

❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that counsel is about all things that we have to do. For choice is the "desire of what is counselled" as stated above (Article [1]). But choice is about all things that we do. Therefore counsel is too.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, counsel implies the reason's inquiry. But, whenever we do not act through the impulse of passion, we act in virtue of the reason's inquiry. Therefore there is counsel about everything that we do.

❌ Objection 3 : Further, the Philosopher says (Ethic. iii, 3) that "if it appears that something can be done by more means than one, we take counsel by inquiring whereby it may be done most easily and best; but if it can be accomplished by one means, how it can be done by this." But whatever is done, is done by one means or by several. Therefore counsel takes place in all things that we do.
