I had been taught to not look at the intentions of people but the results/effect of their actions.
Actions speak louder than words. Someone might say they wanted you to be successful in your business relationship with them but goes behind your back to sell off your idea to a higher bidder. What happens is that you lose out, while they gain.
So instead of looking for good and bad intentions, I look at what was the result of their sugar-coated speeches, did it bring both of us to profit or not? Did whatever intentions they had bring ruin and confusion?

The truth is that intentions are not even spoken most times especially when they're bad. You mostly see motive in the actions of people, it's even more difficult when people's actions are good on the surface but their intentions are malignant and underlying within them. This is why it's important to hope for rhe skills to decipher people's truest intention.
Deception is becoming better on a daily basis. People have learnt to be good with their actions just to buy your trust. I've lived long enough to know this.
Thanks for coming through.

Yeah, I understand. Deception has become the order of the day, and it will take a lot of practice to be able to decipher people's real intentions through their actions. 🤦🏿♀️
