Summary

This quote suggests that simply having good intentions is not enough to avoid negative consequences. It implies that good intentions alone are not sufficient in preventing harm or creating a positive outcome. It emphasizes the importance of taking practical actions and having well-thought-out plans to address and manage situations effectively. Merely intending to do good without implementing actions can lead to negative outcomes, comparable to how Hell is described as having good intentions that ultimately end up being futile.

Love is the key to the mystery. Love by its very nature is not selfish, but generous. It seeks not its own, but the good of others. The measure of love is not the pleasure it gives-that is the way the world judges it-but the joy and peace it can purchase for others.
