Intentional versus Unintentional Action
There are times when people intentionally attempt to accomplish a goal, whether it be for the good or for the bad. Intentional good is a kind and selfless act. Intentional harm is a mean-spirited and self-serving act. Unintentional good is still an act of kindness although intent is undoubtedly missing. While one may benfit from this kind act, it was certainly not meant to be helpful. And now for the big one; unintentional harm. Sometimes we do not set out to hurt someone and in fact, that is the very last thing that we wish to do. Unfortunately, these things do happen and can cause pain and grief in spite of the absence of the intention to do so. If and when this occurs, all that the offending party can do is to ask sincerely for forgiveness. The other party then must determine whether they are able to fogive or not to forgive. "To err is human, but to forgive is divine!" (a borrowed quotation!) Always remember that none of us is perfect and subject to messing up from time to time. Yes, even me!!!! If no one were to ever forgive us for our unintentional actions, then none of us would have a friend left in the world!
