    Yes, intents are usually good. But that doesn't make then a good excuse when something goes wrong.

    Kant said it was ONLY the intent that matters, which means a good person who commits manslaughter should not be tried and convicted.

    It is actually only the results that matter.

    Of course, like intent of wise people. We need to differentiate bad and good before set an intent.

    Hitlers intents were good. He was "cleaning" the world in his eyes and those of his followers. intent is almost always good to someone for some reason.

    Have you heard the following conversation between Mr. Nine and Mr. Ten.

    "All my life, I've tried to make everybody happy while I just hurt and hide, waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn to decide."

    You sound so innocent all full of good intent, swear your know best but you expect me to jump up on board with you and ride off into your delusional sunset.
