My Dad used to say to me that the road to hell is paved with good intentions...
Most people mean well... they don't mean to do things or say things that are meant to be hurtful.
I will say, sorry, I didn't mean to do that!... I didn't mean to say that!
The safest conclusion I've been able to come to is that our crimes are not ones of intent, but ones of thoughtlessness or lack of consideration...
the rule of thumb being to practice being more considerate and thoughtful... easier said than done!
Until later,
Leland
