IN THE REALM OF PERSONAL OR SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS — THIS IS NOT A LEGAL QUESTION
.
Are those who act or speak, and are unaware of, and/or indifferent to, the hurt or damage they inflict, INNOCENT IN INTENT?
When the intent is the betterment of self, is there INNOCENCE IN INTENT, when awareness of hurt or damage to another is absent?
Are consequences, or intent, more important?
Are adults morally obligated to rectify, or make amends, for unintended hurt or damage?
Do cultural mores matter?

This morning I would go as far as to say that a lot of ignorance is simply laziness.

Yes, I think you are right. About one third is laziness, spiritual, physical, and mental.
One third is an incurable condition called ROCKS FOR BRAINS.
One third is pure selfishness.

Because we never have the right to judge another’s intent. We do not have the sight for that.

I think so, but if someone constantly tries to put your voice out you have to walk away. You can’t have a light to shine if someone waits in the shadows to always put it out. The funny thing is, the problem that I’m having is that the bitch doesn’t even want her own voice. She just doesn’t want me to have one. I’m tired of fighting especially when no one else cares. So I’m sitting still and waiting instead. That’s my problem and solution.

Here is my conclusion. Nomzi suggested laziness. I think that is part of it.
About one third is laziness, spiritual, physical, and mental.
One third is an incurable condition called ROCKS FOR BRAINS.
One third is pure selfishness. Also known, in the South, as PURE CUSSEDNESS.

Some people are cursed with all three, and still manage to be charming when there is something they want, such as:
To be worshiped
Something done that they don’t want to do themselves
Necessary help, as in an emergency, if the emergency is someone else begging is requird
Hmmm I can’t think of other charming moments. ???

This was an emergency. Three years of work. A slamming of the sword into my own chest. I am a rear guard soldier. Sworn to protect the innocent and weak and watch the army’s back. Now my fierce self is weeping like the child I am.

She doesn’t care to have you project her image of magnanimous generosity? Or she is in the DESIRING TO BE BEGGED MODE SO SHE CAN SLAP YOU DOWN FOR THE EVIL FUN OF IT.
Or you are refusing to be the mask, which hurts more, temporarily. It is very much like pulling a large splinter or piece of glass from your flesh. What happens if it is left in place? Scars are better than a festering wound.
Hey, dear Lisa of the Light, at least you don’t have to take into consideration what she wants for dinner. Mwahahahaha.

This actually strikes me as quite simple. Was the person causing the hurt ignorant of the impact through not bothering to think about it, or couldn’t they have known? If I say Copenhagen is a lovely city because I’m itching to talk about my holiday visit and the relative stranger I’m chatting with saw a loved one die in that city, I couldn’t reasonably have anticipated her reaction and I may be guilty of self-promotion but not of the hurt. But if I’m chatting with someone whose accent I’ve identified as belonging to the American South (not being an expert, being British) and relieve myself of some sweeping negative generalisations about Floridans, and the other person is from Florida and is hurt, I am at fault because it would have been easy to say “Where are you from?”.

Are you saying it is acceptable to express “sweeping” negative opinions about groups, as long as you don’t say so to a possible member of said group?
What about personal relationships? Is it acceptable to express negative opinions about persons within social circles, family, or close personal relationships, as long as it is said to someone else, not the subject of the negative comments?
Does veracity make it more OK? ?????

deep questions… i think intention is always important and rarely are we not aware of what they are. at 10pm, it’s too late for me to think much more deeply than that but it is a good question to ponder.
