Okay, yes, but using that analogy with the cultist bad guys that I've known,
A man did not run across the street to help a woman being mugged. He ran across the street to help an ancient dragon wake up and devour the living, and in the process he accidentally slaughtered an entire village of innocent people, and then also I guess that wasn't an accident because he totally did that on purpose as well.
Am I supposed to be like, "oh, it's okay that you did that, because you had an unwavering belief that the dragon your cult would awaken would murder everyone and that that was supposed to be good or fate" or whatever?
The "greater good" to these people was still just the worst.

Personally, though? I'm in two minds about intentions.
I think if you have good intentions, that's all that matters, even if you screw up. (I kind of have to believe that, because of how often I screw up.)
But I think if you just keep screwing you despite claiming to mean the best, you're just a terrible and bad dude. (Re: Odin Dark.)
So.

I don't know. Why d'you always ask me these hard questions? There's no spell I can cast that'll make me smart enough to answer them.
How do YOU feel about intentions and the greater good and all that?

you do not need to forgive those who wronged you, regardless of intentions.
redemption is a very different beast.

there is no right answer, my friend. sometimes being unable to answer fully is an answer in and of itself.

and i am afraid that is my own answer. my own good intention to protect my sister led to her death.
i would like to think many things, and i will go forward believing there is always something to an such intentions, but it is one of the answers we cannot know.
only fate answers it.

Man, you've been through too much.
I dunno what you've been through, entirely, and I think maybe you know more about me than I do about you, which is fine,
But you've been through too much.

Sorry for all the big serious talks about fate and stuff, even though I'm not actually because I think you were the one who brought it up first?
But sorry anyway.
I know what it's like to suck at protecting people.
Iiiiiiiiiit suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.
There is no vocabulary grand enough to properly capture the feeling, though it goes without saying that mine comes close.
