Good intentions -- how much do they mean to you?

[Edwardo Piet]

To me good intentions mean an awful lot. There are so many shitty people in this world and it means the world to me when people mean well. And some people go far beyond good intentions in that they are just such incredibly compassionate and empathetic people. It all means so much to me. When I know someone cares and they show it, it makes me smile. Sometimes it really is the thought that counts

Reiterating this... I feel QFT about what I said here and also QFT about what Rob said here:

I agree. It's one of the most beautiful and uplifting things I can experience. Especially when I'm depressed and thinking of all the horror in the world, it makes it that little bit easier to cope when I see genuine kindness, whatever the result. Especially kindness that gets and expects nothing in return.

QFT.
