Quote by: christianmathew  the end can't justify the means. If that were true than war would be merciless and we would live in an opressed world. If the end justified the means, wouldn't it be better if some guy from Germany conquered the world so that we would at least have a universla ruler and no more wars? Even if he did kill millions of people to get on top, there wouldn't be any more death, would there? But of course no one wants that, so the end can't justify the means. It's the means that count. If you were trying to destroy all evil in the world, but you used evil means to do so, in the end you would become the evil you set out to destroy. The end can never be achieved by evil means, so it doesn't justify them. |
Hypothetically, yes. The reality of living under the thumb of a giant empire is that the current chaos is more fun. Choose a different example.
