There is a saying that relates. I like it, but it's usually horribly misused:
"It's the thought that counts."
Because really, it may not make you feel better about much, but if you think about it, it
is the thought that counts, as long as they actually did some thinking. I hate how people use it as an excuse
.
About "The road to hell is paved with good intentions," I disagree. I am agnostic, and I believe it is very unlikely Hell exists. As for Heaven, I don't think it's possible to know if it exists. I do believe that souls do not end with death, though. But as for what happens, I'm not going to make up some story about it just to be comforted (no offense to anyone, but I think most religions make too many assumptions). So I try to live life well, because what if there
is no life after death? What if our only chance at life is now? So, to hell with that stupid saying, I'm going to have good intentions as often as possible, and not in an attempt to go to Heaven, but for the sake of trying to make the world a little better for someone.

Sorry for ranting and strange sense of humor, but this
