And then the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Can I expand on this a bit? The common phrasing here is a little poor in its logic and doing a simple validity test with variations and inversion doesn't yield a positive result either, for example: the road to paradise is paved with bad intentions (possible). Or the road to hell is not paved with good intentions (also possible) etc. etc.
To dissect it better, the proper reasoning is that the road to hell is actually paved with personal feelings enacted as good intentions, toward hap-hazard agendas resulting in unfavorable outcomes. While an inverse variation: the road to paradise being paved with good intentions- after an impersonal reconciliation with personal feelings concluding towards an agenda that results in favorable outcomes.
Yes. There are impersonal feelings and then personal feelings. The impersonal aspect is collective while the personal tends to be individuated. The reconciliation of the two would merit a better outcome with a better agenda, but people take stuff too personally (not impersonally) due to situational pressures thereby sabotaging that reconciliation. You know, like some tyrants and whatnot.
