    Intention ain’t shit. Deontology is bankrupt.

    Only actions count. 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.

      You’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.

        My 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.
