📝 Explanation
👉👉This maxim means a person is not guilty unless their intention is also wrong. I like it because it shows that justice is not only about actions, but also about what someone meant to do.
👉👉In real life, people can make mistakes without bad intentions. This idea teaches us not to judge quickly and to understand the reason behind someone’s actions.
👉👉For me, it’s a reminder to be fair and kind. True justice comes when we look at both the act and the mindset behind it. ⚖️
