    maybe intentions behind the action rather than the perception of the action itself.

    An extreme example would be in the latest episode of My Adventures with Superman (great show, slight spoilers), Superman saves an invisible man from getting hit from a truck by stopping the truck and causing a traffic accident.

    The intention was to save a guy, the perception of the people was that he caused an accident for no reason (because the guy he saved was invisible).

      Right, gotcha. I thought OP meant as personal traits, which didn’t make sense as I don’t see how someone’s abilities or skills to perceive the world can be compared to what they want to do.

      To answer, in your case, I’d say intention is more important

          I also found the misunderstanding funny in context, however note there was a productive conversation out of it in which I managed to understand their intention.

          If intention had no importance I don’t think I would have bothered.
