Hell is paved with good intentions, not bad ones

Hell is paved with good intentions, not bad ones

Summary

This quote suggests that although good intentions may appear positive, they can sometimes lead to negative outcomes. It implies that while bad intentions are usually recognized as harmful, good intentions that are misguided or naive can unintentionally cause harm or bring about negative consequences. It serves as a reminder that intention alone is not enough to determine the morality or righteousness of an action; one must consider the actual impact and results of their well-meaning actions.

I exist here, now. I'm not much interested in the future. Or, more precisely put, I do not believe in the future. To exaggerate a little, I have no faith that I will still exist tomorrow or the day after. What is more, I absolutely detest retrospection.
