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

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

Even if it's just to get that buzz out of doing something nice for someone.
I think a lot of people confuse which way the good intention is headed.

I rearranged a girlfriend's furniture in her flat once, only to have her come home and blow a fuse over it.
At the time I thought that after all that hard work and good intention she could at least have a little gratitude.
I had a whole stack of reasons for why I had arranged it to be more efficient and manageable.
Which is how I like furniture to be. The good intention was aimed at myself.
I'd moved all her stuff to suit myself without thinking of her at all really.

Another time I made a friend a cup of coffee and it was too hot and burnt his lips.
He scolded me over his scolding.
In this scenario he was just a cunt and my good intention was true. :-)

Have you entertained the possibility that your brain knew your coffee was going to burn his lips and you did it on purpose for some selfish reason?
