does intent matter in the face of outcome?
if i intend something good to happen, and something terrible happens instead, does it matter that i meant well?
if i intend something terrible to happen but something good happens instead, does it matter i meant harm?
some might opine that it depended on how intense the outcome was, or how intense the intent was, or both. But does it?
if someone's attempt to kill you saved your life inadvertantly, would you suddenly forget they had wanted you dead?
some say the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
