You Intended On an Action, but the Action was not what You Intended

January 27, 2010

You intended to give someone a gift they would love, but instead they hated it. Should we judge you by your intention of giving them a great gift, or your action of giving them something they hated? You intended on doing something, but you did something else instead. You intended on bringing peace, but instead you started a war.Sometimes our actions contradict our intentions. Always try to discover a person’s intentions before growing mad at them for their actions. A person should be defined by what their intentions were.You may be a really nice person, but your actions say other wise. You gave your teacher an apple to be nice, but there is a worm in the apple, that action points to you being a bad person. It could also be the other way around. You could intend for there to be a worm in the apple, but when there is no worm, the teacher will think your intentions were good. The next time you get an ugly sweater from grandma, always remember their intention.
