I saw the movie Atonement last night and was surpised at how much I enjoyed it. It got me to thinking about intentions and what they really mean. How much of life is based on intent? If we're smart, I think a majority. Because let's face it, things often turn out to be crap no matter what we meant, and they often turn out to be crap not just for us, but for those around us too. I think its probably vital then, when we're standing knee deep in our crap,
or our loved ones' crap, to think about our/their intentions. More often than not, they were probably quite decent and well meaning. And we can go from there, which is a much nicer starting point than just standing in crap with no idea why and being pissy about it.
