Quote:
For every action there's an infinte spectrum of meanings behind the action - surely none of these meanings are any more right than the others because without the interpretation of the act, the act is meaningless.

There may be an infinite number of possible meanings, but often the actual number of meanings created that people actually latch onto are few.

I believe in judging the reasoning behind the action more than the action itself

How can you do that? What if the reasons I tell you are lies? What if I'm deceiving myself and I tell you those self-deceptions? What if there are several reasons about an action, and some are good and some are bad - but I only let you know about the good ones? What if someone tells you that the reasons that someone else does something is completely different from the real reasons?
There is a kind of solipsistic trap here. We can only know so much, and analyzing what someone says is important - but looking at the consequences of actions, and particularly the deliberateness of those actions are much more crucial in my opinion.
