this question has always been there in my mind, sumtimes not at the top of my mind, but hidden sumwhere deep down beneath its conscious workings.
Does the means to acheive an end matter at all? When something good is being done by adopting the wrong means , does it leave any doubts about the intentions? Do the ends always justify the means? The gandhian principles may not apply in today's contenxt, so to correct the twisted, we may have to distort ours ways to a certain extent. But what is this extent? This justifies our means in a highly self-centered and short-sighted society. But I am somehow not convinced by this line of reasoning. Where does the difference between the right and the wrong lie then, if both follow the same/similar means to acheive their ends? After all, the ends being good and bad is only relative, there is nothing right or wrong in this world in the absolute sense.
I have no answers to this intriguing question. For now, am just going to take off from this world while listening to "you don't see" by pussy cat dolls!
