The end never justifies the means.

Are you prepared to do something bad in order to create a situation that will result in something “good”?

There are a number of people who will use whatever means is at their disposal to deceive, manipulate and twist the truth with the justification that they are pursuing a higher “good”… and that “good” somehow grants them dispensation from personal responsibility…

Yes folks, it’s election time again!

I’ve stated this before in other blog postings: When you take action from the most honest place in yourself and your desire is “good” for yourself and others but your decisions are based upon faulty information, the situation will work itself out in a manner that allows you to correct your mistakes and still achieve what you desire.

On the other hand, if you knowingly deceive, manipulate and twist the truth and you justify this because your desire is “good” for yourself and others… you will never achieve your desired outcome.

There is a big difference between an honest mistake and a calculated deception.

No amount of rationale or bending of the truth will ever equal “good”. The outcome of any situation no matter how noble, will never justify “by any means necessary”.

Any means necessary always results in unexpected consequences.
