"Anything is fine as long as your intentions are right" Options

[Call911Quick]

Opinions? If someone does something and messes up horribly and generally makes everyone else uncomfortable one way or another, but his or her "intentions" were right, do you think that's ok?

For example, I want to help clean the dishes. However, I slip, and knock down 3 or 4 dishes, and they shatter as they hit the floor. All I wanted to do was help!

What about cock blockers eh? You tell your bud about this girl you like, and they try to talk to her about you. Somehow, she's not a complete idiot, and catches the drift, and looks at you awkward. All your friend wanted to do was help!

Oh there are so many more examples of this. Would you guys forgive people if their intentions were right? Or... yeah.

thats a pretty deep question. it think it depends on the seriousness of what your doing. like dropping dishes is no big deal. you didnt mean to. no one purposely got hurt as a result of your action. theres nothing 'morally wrong' with it. but like someone brang up, the intentions of hitler were good. he believed what he was doing was right. but that doesnt make it 'right' in the eyes of most people. he was purposly hurting people. was it right to him? yeah. but it wasnt morally right to most people.
so to answer your question, i think it depends on the person. 'good' and 'right' vary depending on who you ask.
