Should we define someone by their actions or their intensions?

No we should not define someone by their action or intentions because your basically judging someone without knowing them. I can use myelf as an example because sometimes in Manitou when I'm skateboarding people give me dirty looks and such. They most likely consider skaters punks because of the image some of them give off by knocking over trashcans or do stupid stuff. If you get to know them well enough then id say yes, you may judge them like if they are a really smart student and good person and then do something very bad.
