Perhaps... but only if you were not intending to help others, sacrifice 'self?', have a high standard of morality, better yourself and your society, or teach freedom and love.
So the question is instead, "did you intend to do such things?"

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
