Sometimes it happens that you set out to do something with the best of intentions -- and you end up with what appears the opposite. Know with absolute certainty -- because this is a tradition of our sages -- that if your true intent is good, then only good can come out of it. Perhaps not the good you intended -- or care for -- but good nevertheless.
