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
The thing is no one says they have bad intentions behind the actions they commit. At least, no one I know of. Plus, regardless of intention, what also matters is how the action itself affects me or others. One may have the best intentions in the world, but if their actions keep affecting others around them in ways that bother them, then people are not going to necessarily be happy about such actions just because of one's intentions.
