To those disagreeing, can you provide an example where no harm is done, but the situation is still bad?

No harm is done when when you want to act out violently towards something/someone & dont. But the situation is still bad.

Driving drunk. Maybe there is no accident, but still bad situation because of the chance there could be an accident.

Reckless endangerment. You didn't actually kill anyone, but you could have, and you're probably stupid for doing it, and should learn.

Replying to

Any time you intend to inflict unnecessary suffering but fail.

Something is bad if the *expected outcome* is negative. Example given already: driving drunk.

Replying to

Where harm is ALLOWED to happen. Your lack of intervention was not directly bad but the outcome is still harmful to the victim.
