bad things for good reasons

Hey gang,
I left off the last post saying that you can’t love someone if you never really knew him or her, and that you only love the relationship you had with that person. I stated that if someone you thought you loved turned out to be someone completely different then you never actually knew them, there for you couldn’t have loved them. But good people do bad things all the time. People that I love do bad things.
So what if someone one you know you love does a bad thing but they do it with good intentions? Does a persons intentions affect the reality of their actions? I argue that a persons actions are affected by their intentions, so even if a person you love does a terrible thing, it does not mean that you don’t know them. Even though everyone else does not think that person is a good person, or that they deserve your love, I believe that you can still love them.
For example in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird society views Boo Radley in a negative light. Very little is known about him, but people create rumors that portray him to be a dangerous person. Towards the end of the novel Radley commits a murder, which would seem to confirm societies suspicions that he is dangerous, but he commits the murder to protect two children because the man he kills had been attacking them. This shows that if a person appears to be a bad person, and even commits acts that seem terrible, the person can still be a good person in reality.
Until next time, keep on keeping on.
