I am not too sure of what this means - well-intentioned - because it usually manifests itself as "...in spite of well-meaning efforts..." or "well-intentioned efforts misfired...". Makes me wonder...are the actions mitigated just because the underlying effort was well-meant? Am not sure...
Often the best-laid plans go awry, because of certain actions - well-intentioned in most cases. I guess the most misanthropic of us cannot escape humanity's "social" evils.
We run and run, trying to get away from the billions on this planet, reducing our sphere of exertion/influence, restricting our interactions, staying out of others' way...but no...can't escape the teeming masses. Ok...fine...i'll talk to them masses...but where I have to...for the absolute essentials...NOT when its foisted on me...by....i knew you'd guess it... Well-Intentioned Efforts!!!

The people around you would always like to give social support. Sometimes the support providers provide poor advice, fail at providing tangible assitance, or put you in an awkward social situation, therby reducing or eliminating the effectiveness of their intentions and effort.This does not mean that the underlying premise is bad or that the outcome would only be good. But, how this is handled depends on the recipient. If consistent negative emotions are expressed, you repel your existing sphere of exertion/influence too.
There is no escape from the billions in the planet, unless you want to shut yourself in a cocoon or still better, discover a lonely planet and start living there. Because , there is no such thing as a lonely place on the earth.
We eat, sleep, breathe, talk, work,f**k, fight, and then we die. It's the bittersweet symphony of life's cycle. Instead of sweating the small stuff, if you let your guard down and realize that life is short,be less cynical, we would have a much more peaceful life.
Well written article.
