End result.
This world was created on a good intention. Look where it is now! End result is what finishes the big picture.
So even a bad intention can turn into a good end result.

I think both are equally important but as God is the only one besides yourself who knows your intention. For example if I give the guy on the off ramp with the will work for food sign some money he has the money weather I gave it to him because I was concerned about him having food or weather I did it to impress a friend riding with me. But my motives would be important to me spiritually but I think with the world we can only judge the outcome so the end result is important as well.
So that is why they are both equally important in my estimation.

There's an Ani Difranco line I love:
They say that the truth will set you free
Well so will a lie
I depends on if you're trying to get to the Promise Land
Or if you're just trying to get by.

"the end justifies the means" Machiavelli said it, reference to politics. of course in human relationships it should not be that way. hope it helps. my end -- was to satisfy your quest for a response, my political aim was to get those 10 points. hope you get the message and it helps.
