Modern Orthodox Wisdom

Even though they have become spirits of darkness, the fallen angels remain creatures of God, and their rejection of God represents a despairing intercourse with the nothingness they will never find. Their eternal descent towards nothing will have no end.--Vladimir Lossky, "Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church" p. 129.

Patristic Wisdom

[The Will is] a natural force which tends toward that which is conformed to nature, a power which embraces all the essential properties of nature.--St. Maximos the Confessor

Thus, according to Lossky (Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church), freedom of choice is an indication of the imperfection of man, a limitation of our true freedom since perfect nature goes towards what is good naturally.
