Of course it matters.
Not one of us is perfect. Sometimes we can hurt the people we care about without thinking or... realizing it. Not because we mean to or want to but because as much as we think we know what's best for others or what they would want-- sometimes we're wrong. And sometimes we just don't know, but we try our best.
If your heart is in the right place, I believe that means something.
...it doesn't mean that some people won't get hurt though. As people we're pretty resilient but feelings can be... fragile... at times. But I think as long as you respect those feelings and are honest about your own... it's still possible to understand one another, even if what the two of you want doesn't exactly line up.
Relationships are complicated and messy-- because we all have a lot of things we care about... people and causes and beliefs that we stand by. Caring about someone doesn't mean you have to agree with all of those things or support them. Just... try to understand and support them in your own way. We're all different, complicated people-- but that's part of what makes us great, too.
