How Should People Be Judged
My class did a group discussion about whether someone should be defined for their actions or intentions. This is the question that we were asked:
“Should we define someone by their actions or their intentions?“
I think that you should define a person based on their intentions because someone could say one thing and mean something else entirely. For example, if someone was being mean, it could either be because they don’t yet know how to talk to people politely.
On the other hand, I believe that you should also judge somebody on their actions because if you have no family problems and are completely sane (not seeing a shrink) then you should be able to control yourself and resist the urge to be mean just because you can.
