(10) Not all human behavior qualifies as action or actus personae. Karol Wojtyla distinguishes between personal action or «I act,« which involves a self-conscious subject causing an action with determinate effects, and «something happens in me« (such as feelings or other psychosomatic phenomena), which occurs regardless of the self's intentions.
