> But who is innocent? There is this word “culpable” which means having something to do with anything responsible for a thing. Anyone who is not culpable is innocent. Innocent is everyone by default until through an act of will (or negligence) makes them otherwise. > harm Destructive interference. “Egregious” would mean such that the potential of one’s existential being is diminished (reducing one’s ability to survive for instance.) Each generation does struggle with maintaining a reasonable definition of these terms, and that reflects such generation’s scope of morality. The significance of properties are one such for instance. > Persons Any actor, either individual or embodiment. There is this phrase which dates back to ancient times “of one man” (it is used in the Old Testament) which means any who act as a part of a body of power. This does not include civilians, though it does apply to any acting as an instrument or extension of will. Morality may absolutely be judged, and “culpability by will or neglect” is how that is done. Saying otherwise only suggests you do not believe anyone should be held accountable for their actions (in this life.) That other stuff you say is your personal confusion. While you are quite right this responsibility should not be taken lightly (only by those whose life is sworn to be determinant upon truth before law). Law is the civilizing accord. In modernity there is a line of life swears between soldiers (of a standing army), police forces, judges, and political figures to discharge duties in accordance with a written law (body of power.) This may be abused or corrupted making those themselves culpable, yet those who are in alignment with integrity are acting in accordance with lawful state. These are the terms of civilization. Do not allow dysfunction or corruption of one instance detract from another for these are the terms and principles by which all of civilization is upheld. Without this we are savages.
