I find hindsight a beautful and impractical thing.
Also reminds me of morals vs. law or ethics.
Also to a lesser extent reminds me of, "
Do you stay safe, or follow your heart?"
You perform the 'bad' action.
The problem with said event or action that, "
the end justify the means..."
if the said bad action is still in disagrement, and things get worse before they get better, then most likely the end doesn't justify the means because the action wasn't articulated or properly explained to other people for them to have the same postive outlook on the future/viewpoint as you.
If (enough) people were convinced, then the means was necessary. Such a thing is always deemed as necessary, or indirectly point out that it's necessary, and not an option.
What with Eytanz is saying, I find the saying "
the end justify the means"
is rather frivolous saying when it's out of historical context. It has some use in hypothetical context which this is.
