an intruder in your house, even if you fear a gun and never used one, you shot the intruder

and
saved your life. And an example for an act done out of fear is when there is a robbery inside the
store you are in and the robber is pointing a gun at you, out of fear you are forced to surrender all
your valuables to them. Acts done with fear are voluntary while acts done because of fear are
involuntary.
Violence is any physical force exerted on a person by another person for the purpose of
compelling that person to act against his/her will; any act where great and brutal force is inflicted.
If the violence is irresistible, we are not responsible for the act. Example is torture, rape and
mutilation. If a person’s resistance towards the act is ineffective, there is no obligation to resist.
Last modifier, the habit, habit is a constant and easy way of doing things acquired by the
regularly and persistently of the same act; similar to addiction, obsession, practice or tradition. It
may be good or bad; habit as virtue (e.g., Random act of kindness, meditation or exercise), and
vice (e.g., Drinking/smoking excessively, cramming, and lying). A person is morally accountable
of his action if he allows a habit to determine his conduct. A deliberately admitted habit does not
lessen voluntariness; the person is still morally responsible for the act because it suggests approval
of all the consequences which he/she is aware of.
Acts can be in themselves, by their very nature, good or bad or indifferent. The
circumstances are those that contribute to increase or diminish the goodness or evil of an action.
At the end of the day, people are born with rights and it is important to know what these rights are
and how will they benefit you. If you are born with rights, this mean that others are too; putting
yourself into their situation will allow you to understand each other and avoid evil and do good.
Adios and gracias!
