Asking here because I don’t think this has a concrete answer… (or maybe it does? Please let me know if there is one!)

So a lot of times good people do good things and bad people do bad things… but what if someone with malicious intent unintentially improved the world? Or vice versa, someone with all the right intentions but made things worse for everyone

I guess this can be applied to a lot of politicians, but the question isn’t based on any real-life events

    You’re walking down a busy street while texting. Oops! You stepped on a kitten! Is it animal abuse? Intention is (almost) everything because it suggests what you would do if you had the means to do so, or if you felt you could get away with it.
