    For me it is definitely perception. There is a German saying which goes:

    Gut gemeint ist nicht gut gemacht.

    Which literally translates to „well intended is not well done“ and I agree

        So does English - the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

          I’ve heard this before but I didn’t think it had to do with perception until now.

            It doesn’t, it’s just a commentary on intention not being worth anything without a good result.
