Insofar as the law is concerned: Your reason(i.e.: motive) for committing the act is irrelevant. You could simply ignore your reason/motive and move on. Without acting on it there is "no harm-no foul." If no ACT occurs, the event would not culminate in a crime.

It is the ACT itself which demonstrates your intent to carry out your motive/reason.

If the act is unlawful. . . ergo. . . you have committed a crime.

What type of person kills another person?

A bad person - but that depends upon your motives and situation. Soldiers sometimes have to kill people in the service of their country, which does not necessarily make them bad people, but then again, sometimes it does, if they live in a bad country. Sometimes people kill purely in self defense, which is a good motive. Other people kill for selfish motives, which is very bad, and still other people are insane, which is also bad.


Are bad choices and good choices equally likely to have negative consequences?

It should be obvious that the reason we would consider a choice to be good is that it is likely to have good consequences, and similarly, we would consider a choice to be bad because it has bad consequences. There are also choices that are relatively inconsequential, which are a matter of taste, rather than being either good or bad.

How do you judge whether a human act is good or bad and whether someone is guilty?

A:There are two key ways of deciding whether an action should be judged as good or bad. The first is to say that the action was good if the person's intentions were good, or bad if the intentions were bad, regardless of the outcome. The second is to say that the action was good if the outcome was good, or bad if the outcome was bad, regardless of the person's actual motives. Under criminal law a person is more likely to be judged as guilty if it is found that the person actually intended to do wrong.

How can a good guy act like a bad boy for his girlfriend?

If your girl wants you to dress to look tough, and maybe talk a bit tough, it'd be pretty harmless to have a look at movies featuring bad boys and copy them, taking care not to look too fake! If your girl wants you to actually do, or even pretend to do, bad things in order to make her happy and these actions don't fit with what you know is the right way to behave, you might question her motives and consider looking for a girl who's looking for a good guy just like you.
