In his book he describes an example: if bullying a lonely child produces pleasure rather than happiness which is the result of virtues, then it is right and justified to do so. So, according to his theory, an individual should not be held responsible for their actions, but the emotions involved should be held responsible. Since our emotions guide our actions, we should not be held responsible for our emotions because we more often act out of emotion, rather than reason. Mill and Kant share many similarities in their theories. One of the biggest similarities between the two philosophers is that they both seem to agree that morality is always stimulated by something, it doesn't just happen. What they believe is the driving force behind morality is what differs because while Mill believes that morality is all about gratification, Kant believes that morality is all about duty to humanity, which is a difference between two in terms of gratification.
