RE: Good Intentions: Paving a Road to Hell

in #philosophy7 years ago

these are pretty wise words and I never realized until now that actions cannot be considered part of intention. I mean I always thought intention led to the action but you're right. Good intention means nothing. Action means everything in this regard. It's really something to consider when patting yourself on the back for being that "good" person we all assume ourselves to be.

Yeah. It matters what we want to do, but it matters more what we actually end up doing. i.e. wanting to do good and not evil vs. actually doing good and not evil ;) We gotta examine ourselves more closely and admit wrong when we are ;)
