Kant suggests that the only thing good in and of itself is a good intent. The extent to which I agree with this is the moment the action is in motion, it is beyond your control. However, are any intentions ever selfless?
The main reason this question is set on repeat in my mind is because, as of late, I’ve discovered that everyone has an ulterior motive. I had someone pay me a visit yesterday. Kind enough, right? Well, that was up to the point where they told me their real reason for stopping by. Fishing for information. I know most of you know me fairly well and if he knew me as well as he thought, he would have known beforehand that this was a fruitless endeavor. I am not the rumormill nor do I aspire to be such. I find out what you know and tell you the same. You’ll leave feeling like you have "found out" what you wanted to know only later kicking yourself in the face when you realize that I was of absolutely no use to you and it was a considerable waste of both your time and mine.
I would prefer if I was privy to the actual intentions beforehand, no matter how selfish they are. I wouldn’t get as fucking angry. Besides, if I *knew* then suspecting everyone of being malicious wouldn’t be as draining... actually... it would be unnecessary. Ha! By god, man! Perfect!!
