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

[Patrick]

Becoming acceptant of yourself is to be without tension with yourself, hence without gravity towards events that resonate with these tensions. So karma does not necessarily seek to make you the perfectly balanced entity, but instead merely to come to terms with what your state of balance is. This applies to both a positive and negative entity.

If so, then what is the point?  Is it simply a matter of comfort in being more balanced, or might there be a deeper purpose?

I think it is just a nécessité for the evolution of consciousness. Meaning is a subjective notion.

When I typed "purpose," I was thinking along the lines of functionality, not personal interpretation.  I'm asking, if karma serves to point out what one needs to balance, and this mechanism falls under the broader category of self acceptance (my contention), once self acceptance becomes a deep discipline, what does this conduce to?  Is it merely decorative, let's say, or does it have a much deeper function or deeper, less obvious consequences?  Does the ego-self shift in some way at that point?  If so, what consequences might that have?
  

If there is karma present then the ego self still needs to shift towards becoming more able to accept, then more able to forgive in understanding and growth.
