Is the Hulk Innocent?

One who easily loses one’s mindfulness
easily loses one’s temper.

– Stonepeace

The Hulk never intentionally hurts the innocent. But does that really make him always innocent, just as innocent as the ones accidentally hurt, as part of the collateral damage he inflicts? Not really – because he should cure his rage by better cultivating his mindfulness, such that he will never lose his temper.

Though his righteous wrath is sometimes useful to help others, it is always useful only if he better manages his rage… And the only way to do so is via increased mindfulness, which helps him to focus his energies, to do only what is right, while minimising damage, if any at all. General Ross, his constant nemesis out to hunt him, has quite a temper too, and in his self-righteous rage, jeopardises the innocent aspect of the Hulk too.
