Best of Intentions...

I find it sad how people tend to use the expressions about good intentions as a condemnation of following good intentions. It is true that some bad results happen when we try to do something and offer help with the best of intentions. Why do we allow such moments to speak negatively of good intentions?

Why are we allowing human foibles and misjudgments speak negatively of good intentions in general?

Let us not overlook the broader reality. More often than not the best of intentions bring about positive results, and often great good. How many of us keep track of our positive results arising from good intentions? Most of us forget to count how often the best of intentions work out for the good, and sometimes for the tremendous good.
