What does "The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions" mean?

[Sacred Fool]

One could look at it terms of balancing love, power and wisdom. The more one commits to doing good, one may develope more power. As the power developes, one may lose perspective on the love and become more interested in using all this to one's own benefit, rather than dedicating these energies to the Creatrix.

So, as one accrues power, does one have to wisdom to ask, are my energies dedicated to love or to my separate self?

The higher stakes (power), the more one has the capacity to completely fail in the enterprise the way a tall building can topple over if lacking a sturdy foundation.
