I think it’s so important to differentiate lack of malicious intent from harm
Sometimes people don’t have malicious intent, and They harm anyways
And so that nuance needs to be held.
I said the phrase to someone tonight “you threw a brick at me and got upset because I said ow”
But in that same conversation, I said “I recognize that you did not have malicious intent when you said something hurtful to me, which is why I’m choosing to let it go and not holding it against you. But I’m bringing it up with you so you know that it was a harmful comment.”
