Are we Responsible for our Actions?

I think that we are morally responsible for most of our actions, but there are exceptions to the rule. The reason i believe this is because you can have a positive intention and outcome can be negative, and vice versa. I believe we are responsible for our actions that directly impact our surroundings within a certain time frame, like a statue of limitations. For example, if you were walking and kicked a small rock into a heavily traffic area, and that rock caused an accident as soon it came to stop from you kicking it, then you would be held responsible for the accident. But suppose that you kicked that rock in to the same heavy traffic area and the next day or a couple days later that rock cause a multi car accident. I don’t think the person should be held liable because it was not a direct consequence of your action. After you kicked the rock and left there could be many other factors that could have caused the multi-car accident a couple of days later, such as weather, driving pattern, or sheer bad luck. I think we should be held for responsible for our actions if there is a direct reaction, to the action you have committed. But once the reaction is delayed after the initial action we shouldn’t be held responsible.
