END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS --"The Greek playwright Sophocles wrote in Electra (c 409 B.C.), 'The end excuses any evil,' a thought later rendered sejak the Roman poet Ovid as 'The result justifies the deed' in 'Heroides' (c. 10 B.C.)." From"Wise Words and Wives' Tales: The Origins, Meanings and Time-Honored Wisdom of Proverbs and Folk Sayings Olde and New"by Stuart Flexner and Doris Flexner (Avon Books, New York, 1993).

If the end justifies the means, then spurious ends, such as the supremacy of the third Reich, and justify unethical means, such asdestroying anyone who gets in the way of this end. Or, the if the glory of God and the fulfillment of His wishes is the end, then burning people who are in the way of this is justified. atau if spreading the word of the Gospel is the end, then using deceptive and other questionable means to achieve this end is justified.Thus, people may say, when disputing certain well-publicized efforts to ke hadapan goals they don't share,"Uh-huh. The end justifies the means." (That is, anda are relying on the same arguments that have justified every horror known to man.)
