Do you define a person by their actions or their intetions?  This was a question that was asked by a wise person.  They had asked that there is no waffling which means that there is not picking both sides.  I have thought about this and have decided that the only way that you judge someone is by judging them on the intentions.  I would have to say this because a man can rob a CVS and before he gets into the store he is caught by the police.  When he is brought infront of the jurry and I was wondering what they would say.  Well the only way that you can judge whether he goes to jail on not is to find the reason why he did the action.  To find the reason behind the action is to find the intention and by finding out the intention is to judge on the person.  Well you found out that the reason why the man broke into the store was to get medication for his son that was dying and the man had lost his job, with losing his job the man also lost his health insurance therefore he was not able to afford the expenses for his child.  How would you then judge that man?  Would you judge him on the fact that he broke into the CVS or would you judge him on the fact that he was trying to save the life of his son and let him off the hook on the bit of information?  If it were up to me I would judge this man on his intentions and not his actions because he broke in but not for the fact of stealing many products but for one item and that was fir the fact of helping his son.
