Our intentions may be very good, but, because the intelligence is limited, the action may turn out to be a mistake - a mistake, but not necessarily a sin, for sin comes out of a wrong intention.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligence.
All of us make mistakes. The key is to acknowledge them, learn, and move on. The real sin is ignoring mistakes, or worse, seeking to hide them.
It makes a great deal of difference whether one wills not to sin or has not the knowledge to sin.
Sin may result from activities that begin innocently or that are perfectly legitimate in moderation, but in excess they can cause us to veer from the straight and narrow path to our destruction.
We are personalities in the making, limited, and grappling with things too high for us. Obviously we, at very best, will make many mistakes, but these mistakes need not be sins.
We shall act with good intentions, but at times we will be wrong. When we are, let us admit it and try to right the situation.
There is no sin except stupidity.
I will overlook bad behavior if I know that people's intentions are good. I have this belief that people really can do good things and that people want to be good.
There is no sin but ignorance.
All human sin seems so much worse in its consequences than in its intentions.
