resistance is futile, you will be assimilated

[Astreja]

intention to me is the established patterns of activity and thoughts that make up your action potentials

your intention produces all of your actions

Intentions by themselves do nothing. It's the action that's important. I doubt very much that we can make people happy solely by intending for them to be happy. At some point you have to act, or nothing changes.

Wishing for happiness for someone outside my circle of influence does nothing at all. It's an empty platitude until you do something to help them.
