Course Keys ****

There are many occasions where we may focus upon EITHER: 

(1) What WE have discerned was a person's "intent" in choosing and acting upon a course of action'  OR upon:

(2) Objective evidence that exists about the OUTCOME of the person's choices and actions.

Which of the two foci is likely to be the more helpful focus of attention; honorable, worthy of admiration and likely
in the long-term to bear "sweet-fruits"?

 1. How reliable is any "discernment" of another person's or group's "intent" in any choice?
 
 2. How can the various motives that are bound to play roles in any "discernment" - - - be reliably-detected, interpreted
    and "verified" --- in light of the fact that the motives of all of the people involved in the "discernment" are 
    "reflexive-inter-personal-relationships" - - - NOT-OBJECTIVE-REALITIES.

 3. In comparison; how reliably can people observe the objective facts about the outcomes of chosen and carried out 
    actions - - - which may have violated people's constitutional human rights, laws, contracts and international
    agreements - - - and may have created and/or maintained Alienative-Conflict in Tragic-Ways evidenced by OBJECTIVE
    FACTS in the lives of many people?
