Love always remains

I was talking to a few friends earlier today, and one thing I found particularly strange, if not strange, then unfortunate. One of my friends had apparently made a biased and hurtful blog entry recently. This isn't all that out of the ordinary as people do this all the time. One or two of my friends however took high offense from the single post. The original friend seemed to have to post another time to apologise.
It's rather unfortunate when people allow such things to come between them. I wrote something similar a couple of years ago, and my best friend took offense. I seem to keep trying to apologise, but I think the meaning has been lost now.
'Intentions' is a word which seems to come up a whole lot. When I was a little kid, I don't recall it being used anywhere near as much. I'm not sure if it's the world that's changed, or whether it's a part of growing up, but people have a nature to justify all actions, and the world's taken the overall view that intentions are far more important than results in interpersonal affairs. Interestingly enough, the behaviour of the overall population has not reflected this, as is apparent even in the daily life. The media and the culture of the day, the behaviour and lives of many people I know are driven by consumerism and 'what they can get out of things' and getting kicks. Maybe this post belongs in the lifegroup blog.

ps. What do people think about friction between peers? Is it inevitable or avoidable/able to be used for good?

pps. It would appear I've been incriminated in the first post here. I was not paying any attention whatsoever when they made this blog. Sorry.
