A heavy thought was brought to me today. How do you define a person? Do you look at their actions or their intentions?

Today I read a post by Diane Cordell about something that happened at her school. A small incident that required- intentions or actions. The story is about their school news paper. There was a graphic image that was posted on the front page, and for this the publisher did not send the newspaper to the school, but the reason that Diane did not appreciate this was because they pay for the newspaper so shouldnt it still be delivered.  I feel there is no reason to remove the newspaper from a school. The faculty made an effort to contact the publisher. But what is the publishers side?

His actions spoke louder than intensions. So what if he said he didnt deicde, or he thought the photo was objectable and THOUGHT it was innapropiate for the school. But I feel that it was not his position to reomve the newspaper. The publisher also (quote on quote) said “Our plan was to call the schools and ask if you would like them delivered after you had a chance to see the photo” but the he/she did not contact them(which was his intentions) but no one looks at his/her intentions, they looked if he did call( his actions).

So I’m going to leave you here. What do you think? Did his actions speak louder than his intentions?

How do you define a person by their intentions or their actions?

I say… Actions truly do speak louder than intentions.
