Food for Thought

It's amazing what one can come up with in the middle of the night, when insomnia strikes. Thanks, wzb, for the push.

Intention or action –
Which matters more?
Does the failure to act
On an ill intention
Absolve one from sin?
Is a good intention sufficient
When its consequence goes awry?
If we do it for all the wrong reasons,
Does it still count?
Do the ends ever really justify the means?
