Good one, Judith. I like this. It brings to attention that we must think deeply about possible consequences of acts, both personal and at a policy level. Good intentions are not an excuse for sloppy preparation or careless execution. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." And yet, ultimately, the fear of potential bad outcomes cannot paralyze us. We must act. Sometimes we must act knowing that we may have made the wrong choice, yet doing nothing is worse (and is still an action). This is one of the ongoing challenges of every adult life.
