I do believe that (e.g.) Ezekiel’s description is not a literal description of the angels. Rather, he is communicating their hierarchy in the analogy of being. Eg, beings higher in the hierarchy of being will encompass the perfections of the lower. Hence, the many faces of the.

Another gleaning from A's ethics. A habit is a moral disposition. Besides the sad reality of the first sentence--A recognizes that many victims of abuse repeat the behavior perpetrated against them later in life--A is teaching on the bad man vs the unstrained. The bad man has bad.
