The denominotations of actions often mislead us

"But because very frequently the positive idea of the action, and its moral relation are comprehended together under one name, and the same word made use of to express both the mode or action, and its moral rectitude or obliquity, therefore the relation itself is less taken notice of; and there is often no distiction made between the positive idea of the action, and the reference it has to a rule."

Actions depend on whether or not they are done in good favor. Some words have a bad conotation. For example, if I were to tell you I smell an odor. One would think it is a terrible smell. When infact I could be speaking of the odor of a rose. Language is full of many words and actions. If an action or word is being used in good favor is it really considered a bad action or does it depend on the context the word or action is being used?
