I think I make myself perfectly clear that I understand it may not be a consciously intended act.
What I'm getting from this is that a person can try or intend to kill you, but just not realize that they are trying or intending to kill you. How do you have an unintended intent? That is what I don't understand.
I agree that actions can have unintended, unforeseen consequences, but we call those outcomes accidents, not "unconscious intentions."
They can physically be intending to kill you in the sense that they may be bashing your head through the walls, or stabbing you repeatedly, or whatever else. Whether they are mentally conscious enough to realize the actions they are taking, is for professionals/courts to decide.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
