Some may think that the point of view of inclination that I've proposed defies logic in a way that good intentions or good inclinations could result in bad outcome.
For example, someone who inclines to save a puppy's life ended up killing the puppy because of bad CPR. If he/she didn't administer the CPR the puppy might have survived. So the inclination to save the puppy's life is not strengthened by acting upon the inclination to save the puppy's life. So that doesn't make sense.
But in that case, we must acknowledge the status quo of the hierarchy of the inclinations. And the games they play. It's like chess, there are traps everywhere. And just because we have been kept hostage for a long long time, doesn't mean ultimately the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Instead,
Sooner or later, the road to hell will be completely blocked with good intentions.
