So does morality rest in intention or action?

What is morality anyway? It seems people need a religion or something to tell them what's moral.
And if it is true that those who know do not speak, then we can discount Saints, their preachers and sermons.
If actions speak louder than words, how do we measure motive?
We measure motive by seeing in ours good intentions and in others the opposite.
As we always find our worst faults in the behaviors of others.
The loudest accusers of hypocrisy are in fact the worst perpetrators.
That is why I choose to remain unmotivated and perpetrate nothing, said the hyprocrite.
'Alas,' said the hypocrite, 'I am a prisoner of inertia and thus in perpetual motion despite my intentions or motives.'
Whether you choose to be in motion or not, you'll still be moving at 66,000 mph.
Like flies crushed in the windshields of passing cars, unable to keep pace with the passage of time.
You have no choice but to keep pace with the passage of time, it waits for no man.
Time waits for the man with the blue box.
Or maybe it waits for the guidance of the man in the blue police box.
The man in blue was blue to box the ears of the beaten boxer bruised and battered and blue.
The poor beaten boxer needs an appointment with the Doctor.
He needs his head examined to understand why he loves be beaten.
He has a false association with what it takes to please his master and has been taught that his own needs come second.
The only time a master becomes less but great is when he is bested by his student.
But was he truly a master if he closed himself to the idea of someone better than he?
the world is full of know-it-alls...masters and experts in their own minds
The only thing you know better than anyone else is yourself, and even then ego blindness prevents you from mastering it.
You can't understand yourself because you're too close to see the big picture.
And where did that phrase 'As plain as the nose on your face' come from and what does it really mean?
Perhaps it was really just a very subtle insult about someone's appearance that was over-analyzed into a figure of speech.
And is the phrase "a figure of speech" just an attempt to circumnavigate the truth?
Is it circumnavigation to seek another entrance when reaching a bolted door?
No, it's your easiest option.
And speaking of options, why is it no matter how many you have, there never seems to be the one you want?
Or you have too many options and you must close the door on yourself.
I've learned to close the door on parts of myself to get through things, but I always leave it unlocked.
By leaving it unlocked doesn't that part of your self stealthily sneak into every area of being. I would leave all parts of me to wander until they find where they are most needed.
I wonder when I wander at the wonder of wandering wherever I want to wend.
Though examining oneself we must trough thoroughly tough things from our life until we make it through.
Don't become preoccupied with getting "through". Focusing on the goal can rob you of the journey.
But what do you do if you make the journey your goal?
Maybe there's more to learn from happenstance and unplanned experience than from predetermined destinations.
Avoidable circumstance and happenstance may lead to unplanned parenthood!
But is anything unplanned, in the BIG picture?
I find it hard to believe that anyone or anything would "plan" some of the awful things that have happened in this world.
Which is perhaps in part the etymology of the phrase 'The best laid plans of mice and men.'
Watch A Tale of Two Cities and An American Tail at the same time.
