Omission or Commission




I have to ask how to identify one's activities as an omission or commission?

1. Is omission something unintended? Meaning, it happened along the way without you meaning it all? In other words, nothing that can be described as wilful? For example, you forgot, you were stepping on someone's toes, when you were describing a parody, this exaggeration you wanted to mimic in a comic way. Could this be different when one hides an information intendedly?

2. How about with commission? Should I say that this carries a heavier or a major brunt of responsibility in that, knowledge is there in performing the activity deliberately and the consequences of such act is discerning, that one knows a sanction is there or causes as a damaging end-result? Example I can mention is any scamming activity? Or maybe a submitted fake profile with someone else's photo, in a dating site?

I am not sure if I am understanding this correctly, as it appears that the words omission and commission are used specifically. For me, omission is an act with an intention to hide or delete or not to include some important details. Commission on the other hand can be done either for a good purpose or bad. One can be committed to tell the truth or can commit a fraudulent activity...

you are right with omission..it is precluding the facts, maybe for a good reason or even if otherwise, there is the intention not to tell...

i know that you are also right in saying commission is something that is done but for a graver reason, be that good or bad...

but am not sure either if what I said here is right..perhaps, it depends on how these two words are used although ordinarily, both are used or meant interchangeably, but which is not rightly so...

okay I got you bro...we keep information that we chose not to reveal but have this vocation to commit or say what is truer, right?
