Do you define a person by their actions or their intentions, why?

I feel that you should define a person by their intentions.  It took a long time to get this answer.  I kept going back and forth to the point where I followed Mr. B around the library listening to people and their sides.  After 45 minutes of this I still had no answer, so I kept thinking and thinking.  

Then I did some more thinking when I remembered that my cousin had one of her friends witness his friends hit and run accidents.  The kid that got hit didn’t survive.  The driver of that car didn’t intend on hitting and killing that child, but he probably will go to jail because those people on the jusry will define him by his actions.  Yes his actions were horrible and everyone wishes that this never happened, but it was (I hate using this word here…) an accident. He didn’t mean to.  Why would anybody want to do this to an innocent child.  

Another example is the way we vote for president.  President Obama gave us a whole bunch of promises, but there were no actions before we voted.  If we voted on his action then we would never be able to choose a president.  He won the election because he had better and more enticing intentions.  People trusted him more and believed his intentions.

This is why I feel that you should define people by their intentions.

Hey, my name is Adam Plantenberg. I’m from a lit honors class in Springfield Oregon. I think you support your decision with very strong evidence, especially about voting. But on the car accident, the driver did run, thats against the law. It was a very good post.

you cant judge someone on there intentions…
your hit and run story was it also an accident that he didn’t stop and left. and ppl didnt vote in obama based on his intentions they did based on his lies hello!!! thats politics and the whole action intention thing… lets say you intended to help a kid that needed help or give to charity and you didnt so it doesnt matter because your those ppl dont get helped just because you intend to do something doesnt make you who you are who you are is defined by your actions….
