Actions and intentions.

I saw a quote today (I don't know who originally wrote it) that I liked:

We see our actions in light of our intentions; we see others' intentions in light of their actions.

Seems like a good thing to keep in mind as a parent and as a spouse, doesn't it? 

We should try to 'see' the intention that the other sees when acting or responding.
