How to use "Meddling" in context?
Meddling is essentially any deliberate act, which may involve a relatively small degree of interference in order to influence the course or outcome of something. While it may not always result in the intended outcome, meddling can cause a great deal of confusion and chaos, often without the person meddling realizing it. There are a few different forms of meddling, which can be classified as passive, active, or indirect.
Passive meddling typically involves a lack of involvement, and can be seen as harmless or unintentional. An example of this would be a person who passively observes a conflict or dispute between two others, without intervening.
