Answer 1

• I guess intentions dont matter but the situation does.In any relationship between two individuals there are going to be countless interactions, all bearing an immeasurable weight of intentions. Those intentions are bound to change from interaction to interaction and be interpreted or misinterpreted based on the receiver’s mood or disposition.The intention does not outweigh the responsibility to make sure your actions mirror the intent.
• For example, a well intentioned person calls his friend "heavy" since he knows that the word "fat" is an inflammatory term i.e. happens all the time.He is trying to be a good friend. But his friend corrects him, pointing out that “fat” is a better term.He argues, either verbally with his friend or nonverbally with himself in his head, that he meant well, and his friend should recognize that.
• People, in general, don’t like to be told what to say this goes for well-intentioned people as well.
