"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.

Obviously everyone thinks they are in the right intentions when doing something. It's the best for them. No one would do something if they thought it would cause harm (either now or in the future) to themselves. They do it to help themselves, to do good for themselves. People who don't cut themselves view cutting as "bad" but those who cut themselves view it as "good" because it focuses pain elsewhere than their mind (for a few seconds, cause pretty soon, they'll feel bad about having to cut themselves to stop being sad). People who kill others think it's fine because they are doing something to help the world in their own ideal world view, by either making a statement or cleansing the world of something they deem harmful. People don't just accept something because the person thought they were doing something good. That would be absurd. Things can be "bad" or "good" to different people, just like the example above. Podo punching Nate in the face is obviously not beneficial to Nate; his face hurts now. That sucks. But I guess it would make Podo feel better about himself if he could, cause I don't think he likes Nate very much, so that'd be great for him. Boosting self-esteem. Awesome.
