Sometimes good intentions cause harm
It’s ironic, isn’t it? Good intentions should be good, it’s literally called good intentions, unfortunately, life doesn’t always happen like that. Even the best intentions can cause some harm without it ever being part of the plan. It’s one of the beauties of humans and our complexities.
We assume someone would take an action a certain way and we run with it, Unfortunately, we forget to factor in the fact that we are all very unique and our lives, personalities, and experiences play a major part in our interpretation of situations.
Why am I saying this? I’m saying this to encourage anyone who feels like they get misinterpreted by people a lot. They do things with the best of intentions, and it’s misread as a wicked act. Sometimes it’s not about you, so don’t let it get to you.
Don’t let it deter you from doing good, as long as your heart is in the right place.
