Perceived Good Intentions, Perceived Bad Intentions

So many women tell me the same story.

She couldn't comprehend any negative, bad or malicious intentions of her husband.  His cruel actions were from  misunderstanding her intentions.  She just needed to prove her kind intentions and show patience.

He couldn't comprehend any kind, thoughtful, or sincere intentions of his wife.

Um, those who are cruel and unkind cannot comprehend those who are kind and giving.  They see kind actions and come up with negative intentions for them.

Those who are kind, loving, and giving cannot comprehend the heart and mind of one who is cruel and unkind.  They keep coming up with innocent cause of cruel actions.

Ouch.
