Results, if you can get them, but the future is always uncertain. Neither can you control what people think of you. You only have control over your own decisions.
minus-squaresilly goose meekah@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoYou’re not answering the question. Actions have intentions, and they are also perceived a certain way by others. “You only have control over your own decisions” So intention is more important? Your decisions result in an intention for a certain action.
minus-squareℕ𝕖𝕞𝕠@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoMy answer is that neither intention nor perception are the most important. Intention, after all, is just your personal, internal perception. Only the actual action matters; not how it is perceived, not how one meant it to be perceived.
