Intent & Accident
The most common misuse of the word “intent” goes right along with the misuse of the word “accident.” Intent does not change the effect created by a cause. Intended or not, causes lead to effects.The lack of direct intent does not turn a cause and effect into an accident. If I raise my foot and place it down on your foot intentionally, clearly it is not an accident. If I raise my foot and place it down on your foot because I didn't see your foot, why is this an accident when both times I still stepped on your foot? There are reasons why our feet ended up in the same spot. The reasons I picked up my foot and put it down are not accidents. The reasons your foot was where it was is not an accident. Did either of our actions happen by mistake? Didn't we both intend to move our feet into positions we wanted them in but did not understand would intersect? This example applies to all the events of our lives, small and big. Intent does not change the nature of an event because intent or not, does not change the cause or the effect.Purpose of Intent
The purpose of intent, as used by humans, is to assess accountability, blame, guilt and punishment to both the causer of the cause and to the experiencer of the effect. A determination of intent is not necessarily for the purpose of justice, harmony and peace - three things that are the same. As we know, it is also for the purpose of plausible deniability. Although intent is separate from an event, it is still connected to every event. This is due to the law of dimensions. Whatever causes there are that create events we like to call accidents and miracles, the causer, the cause, the effects and the experiencing of the effects are all unchanged by the words we use to describe the event and also, all are unchanged by intent.All Understanding Is Family Interrelated
