It;s a subtle shift in frames of reference. When we reference the hurt we are referencing the subject. When we reference the intent we are referencing the subjectee. Thus, seemingly contradictory or paradoxical positions may exist and be simultaneously true about any given event, not -actually- being paradoxes, as they are not -actually- positions on the same thing, just positions regarding things on the periphery of some event.
