It is very possible.

1. A dog barks at me. 2. I laugh and love. The real and actual degree of hurt involved depends entirely on whether I focus on #1 or #2. Likewise the relevance of your "intent" argument. If I only concern myself with responding in a loving way -- that which I am responsible for -- that puts a quick end to any "intent" concerns and worries.
