Do all willful actions have moral/ethical content?

Do all willful actions have moral/ethical content?

Wllful means not resulting from instinct.

Moral/ethical content means it can be judged as wrong or right on the basis of ethics or morality principles (these two words mean the same thing).

Yes or no with reasoning. Not a poll.

Webster uses the words moral and ethical as synonyms.

Do all willful actions have moral/ethical content?

I think that morality is not necessarily restricted to right and wrong. Sometimes it is a matter of least bad; good and better or bad, acceptable and excellent.
I also do not know how to distinguish between willful and not. For instance, a person with Tourettes Syndrome may be able to, by force of will, control his actions for a set period of time, but must eventually act out. Are these actions willful or not? Or breathing. We must breath, and we can do it without even being conscious, but while conscious, we can control our breathing, so is breathing willful?
My personal opinion is that whether the action is willful or not is irrelevant to the action's moral/ethical content. As far as I am concerned, a person who, for instance, pushes others in front of subways, is morally wrong. If that person does it because he is compelled to do it because of a mental illness does not make that person any less of a threat to society.

McCulloch

Would you agree that we could put right and wrong on opposite ends of a stick and everything between those end points are part right and part wrong thus accommodating the degree of right and wrong you mention?

I would say that sometimes we behave in a manner dictated by instinct and sometimes we behave otherwise. Anything other than instinctive behavior is willful behavior.

I would classify anyone acting without his or her mental faculties would be regarded as instinctive behavior.

I don't quite understand what that means, but I still answer the question, "Do all willful actions have moral content?" in the afirmative, since I believe that all human actions have moral content.
