Therefore enjoyment is not only of the last end. But the last end alone is that which man does not desire for the sake of something else. Therefore enjoyment is of the last end alone. But that which is delightful not in itself, but is desired, only as referred to something else, e.g. a bitter potion for the sake of health, can nowise be called fruit. Thus in local movement, although any point between the two terms is a beginning and an end, yet it is not considered as an actual end, except when the movement stops there.
Fruit bears one relation to the tree that bore it, and another to man that enjoys it.
These are not, of course, two ends, but one end, considered in itself, and in its relation to something else. And the same applies to created happiness which consists in enjoyment. But so long as a thing is not had, there is joy, not of possession, but of hope. Therefore enjoyment is only of the end possessed. But the appetite has no rest save in the possession of the end.
