Thank you DY for answering my question. I’m glad someone finally decided to actually answer my question instead of accusing me of not having asked it! Thank you!
So it sounds like you are assuming that negligence would fall under the halachic category of “forgetting”. LB seemed to make that assumption as well. I wonder what you are basing that assumption on?
Why would you think that “forgetting” means anything other than forgetting?
As I mentioned in a previous post, if that is the case, I may have a lot of extra candles I should be lighting every week!
There were a few times when I was spending Shabbos at a friend’s house and running late and got there after shkiya. In terms of chilul Shabbos, it wasn’t a problem since I was walking and I made sure that I was within the Eruv before shkiya. But the problem was that I got there too late to light candles, and I couldn’t light at home since I was neither sleeping nor eating at home.
If I saw I was running late, I would call my friend to ask her to light for me, but sometimes, by the time I realized, it was too late or I couldn’t get through to her.
It didn’t occur to me that I have to light extra from now on (it wasn’t “shogeg”), but now I am wondering if I do.
