"The Road To Hell Is Paved By Good Intentions…"

Sweet Bee's thought of the day:   

“The Road To Hell Is Paved By Good Intentions…”

We get annoyed and disappointed when people don't keep their word but we don't realize that we are all guilty of the same offense. How many times have you said I'll call you back? Or I'm here if you need me? Or if you need anything at all let me know? 8 times out of 10 you didn't follow through on even the simplest promise; not because we didn’t want to but because life happens. We fail to realize that it may not be as important to ourselves but to the other person it may mean the world, It may even be a matter of life and death. I heard the quote "the road to hell is paved by good intentions" and this is so true. We set out intending to do well for ourselves and other but our actions or lack of at times end up hurting more than helping. Expectation plays a big part in it. We expect people to keep their word. We expect them to treat us well but we fail to realize that they may be doing the best they can. Even the saying “treat others as you would treat yourself” has lost validity because not many people know how to love or treat themselves well. Something to think about!!!
