Where I live you have to shovel paved road half of the year!. And the other half of the year it is potholes!. I have found ways to deal with both and be happy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

sometimes yes, but also combined with very bad judgement or selfishness

watching "The Last King of Scotland" which is about the dictator Eidi Amin in Oghanda, made me think of similar concepts!.

I loved the movie so much especially coz it makes you feel that Amin started his prisdency as a great nice charismatic man!. Then, he started to doubt everybody, and seems many people wanna kill him!. He started to have stricter rules, killing everyone with doubts or without!.

Somehow, with bad judgement, he lost his control of power, even though he started the seat with very good intentions for Oghanda!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i think what it is saying is like!.!.!.!.say a guy thinks to himself ( his intentions) that he ought to do something special for his GF like buy her flowers!.!.!.!.!.he thinks it and thinks it but never does it!.!.!.!.then one day , because her ego is deflated , she sleeps with the pool boy and it destroys the relationship ( creates hell on earth)!.!.!.!.!.!.i think the solution is that it is very important to ACT on your good intentions!.!.!.intentions aren't real until u make them realWww@QuestionHome@Com

yes it is was and always will be!.

we can do all we can do and still our kids will write tell all books about the way they remember it!.

we can pave over green spaces and build a mall to house things we need!.

we can give our kids everything they don't need but fills a need for us based on guilt perhaps!.!.

we can hang the wrong evil one!.

some think it is about intending to do good and never getting around to it!.

some attribute this saying to Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1091-1153) or John Ray in 1670!.
Both just a little bit older than old Madonna!.

but the first time i ever heard of this gist of this saying was in the Bible
4,000BC

"There exists a way that appears upright before a man but in the end is death!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

If good intentions are based on a rotten society's morals that are actually immoral, it's a highway straight to hell, for instance our society's values are greed, hate, envy, aggression, competition and all the other garbage you can think of!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
