The road to hell

I took half a literature class a while back and the teacher brought up the saying “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”

Most everyone has heard that once or twice, and most folks I know take it to mean that the road to hell is paved with good intentions that never get carried out.

But the teacher challenged us to think about it the other way. What if it means that the road to hell is paved with deeds that started out as good intentions but turned out very differently?
