The Dunning-Kruger effect

The Danger of Good Intentions

This claim implies that a change in intention can transform an act from intrinsically evil into a good and moral act. This claim is directly contrary to the teaching of the Magisterium. Pope John Paul II: If a married couple use abortifacient contraception for a medical purpose, they are using an intrinsically evil means to a good end.

The Church teaches that the end does not justify the means. But these false teachers claim that the good purpose the intended end makes the act no longer intrinsically evil. Nothing could be further from the teaching of the Church.

The purpose for which the act is chosen is the font called intention. This font has no effect on the font called moral object. Neither intention or circumstances can make such an act moral. Therefore, abortifacient contraception does not become moral by being used for a good purpose, such as to treat a medical disorder. On the question of the circumstances, they claim that if any bad consequences of an act are unintended, then those consequences do not affect the morality of the act.

Again, nothing could be further from the teaching of the Magisterium. Intention and circumstances are two different fonts of morality.

Each is evaluated on its own merits. It would be immoral if the bad consequences were the intended end of the act; if so, then the first font of intention is bad.

But it would also be immoral if the unintended bad consequences outweigh the good consequences; if so, then the third font of circumstances is bad. They also claim that the principle of double effect justifies various intrinsically evil acts. But when used wickedly, it is the beginning of a magician's karmic calamity.

Hodge, From Within I Rise: It is a good divine that follows his own instructions: I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching. It's the bridges before us that we burn, not realizing we may need to cross, that brings regret. True Stories from a War Zone. The only way for perfect peace by man is absolute control of all wrongs. This is a superficial peace made by force and by fear, one in which there is no freedom to breathe; and the reason it is impossible for man to maintain freedom and peace for everyone at the same time.

Christ, on the other hand, transforms, instead of controls, by instilling his certain inner peace. This is the place where one realizes that only his holiness is and feels like true freedom, rather than like imprisonment, and, too, why Hell, I imagine, a magnified version of man's never-ending conflict between freedom and peace, would be the flesh's ultimate utopia - yet its ultimate regret.

Unfortunately, that kind of education is virtually calculated to bore and alienate gifted minds. But instead of making exceptions where it would do the most good, the educational bureaucracy often prefers not to be bothered.

The meaning and origin of the expression: The road to hell is paved with good intentions

In my case, for example, much of the schooling to which I was subjected was probably worse than nothing. It consisted not of real education, but of repetition and oppressive socialization entirely superfluous given the dose of oppression I was getting away from school.

Had I been left alone, preferably with access to a good library and a minimal amount of high-quality instruction, I would at least have been free to learn without useless distractions and gratuitous indoctrination. But alas, no such luck. The train that passed you by? At times, life is like a carousel in which we go round and round without finding our ground.

Why is it so hard for us to enjoy happiness some times? Maybe we shoot too high, or maybe you might even…. We all have our own ideas about what love is.

Most of us have experienced the emotions that take over when you fall in love, but what happens in the body? What does science have to say about it? And we make most of them at the speed of light, almost without thinking.
