It is hard to separate actor from action, to judge the action separately from the actor.
Actor and Action

If you're talking about Bollywood, then yeah. They pick actors on the basis of them actually being very much like the character they are acting out in accordance with a script.

Um... No. That's not what I was thinking...
Hello LearningToLetGo;
Are you thinking of a person and knowing their set of values, how we respond by their behavior that may be contrary to them as a person?
Can we sift out their action apart from the person?
lol! Are you following my response to your opening post?

That is the essence of my question.
Actions can be good, evil or neither, but actions don't spring forth from nothing. First there must be choices. But where do choices come from?
For example: Murder is evil, but murder is not spontaneous. One must choose to murder. But where does choice come from? Does choice come from an intrinsic nature? Is one programmed to choose to choose murder? If so then choice is an illusion. If not, then why choose evil? It seems there is a disconnect between chooser and choice, actor and action.
Hey LearningToLetGo;
Choices such as sinful choice is cancerous. Where does it come from? It can start with a small dose of behavioral sin (with or without a loved one knowing.) Behavioral sin can lead to stronger sin like thoughts that can produce anger, jealousy, rage, a broken mental well being and escalate to physical abuse or murder.
Choices such as mistakes that humans make. Mistakes happen and is decided between two choices. We all make them and don't know how to deal with our mistakes or we cannot get past our mistakes.
Choices such as obedience, choosing right from wrong takes discipline that most all humans can develop. So when we make mistakes the discipline is acceptance, learning and growing from it. When we sin, the obedience includes repentance and minimizing that specific sin in the future.
The first two points usually expose us as much as we attempt to keep within our inner cup.
These are very fundamental, Jason, and what you posted can have a larger range of answers.
God bless you, brother.
