End justifies the means?

Balakhonskaya G. V

Is there a certainty in life, dear friends?

Well, so that it is always the same for everyone?

Or does it all depend on our personal view, context and, accordingly, attitude?

Well, or, if you dig deeper, from our beliefs and attitudes? Which, in turn, are based on our deep system of values?

After all, there is such a thing as "projection".

That is, after all, we perceive the world around us, with all its features, in the way we are internally ready to perceive and evaluate. And nothing else.

By the way, by the way, without often thinking that in fact it is we ourselves who "ascribe" (well, in a way) to the world what we expect from it. What are they set for by their expectations.

And we evaluate events, other people and their actions, so to speak, through the prism of our own ideas.

Well, in general, we "project" our inner world onto the outer world.

But these are our estimates.

They have little to do with the objective. Limiting us.

But for us, these estimates are extremely important. We live in them.

But our assessments are not the whole world. Not all of them.

That is, we narrow it down. Out of habit.

But it is in our power to push the boundaries we are accustomed to and see something that we did not notice before - despite the fact that it was always there))

Well, for an example.

"End justifies the means"…

A well-known phrase, isn't it, dear friends?

A phrase that usually contains a negative condemnation note.

Well, I don’t know how you feel about it, my dear readers, but personally I’m so used to it.

Like for someone for the sake of achieving the goal, all means are good. Like, any. Decent or not. Fu, in general …

Of course, everyone puts their own meaning here.

But they often say so when someone is ready to go over their heads in order to achieve their goal.

For example, for the sake of a career. Or for the sake of getting big money.

In general, it is often meant that the one who is guided by this principle is a person without conscience.

Because for the sake of his goal he goes, as they say, headlong, not giving a damn about others.

But if we move away from this familiar template, into which we plunge, talking about a person without conscience and morality?

Here I propose, dear friends, to conduct such a small experiment, let's say, speculative.:)

Well, I mean, just speculate.

To talk about how we ourselves fill generally neutral words with any meaning.

After all, if we remove the contemptuous moment familiar to many, then what will remain?

Let's analyze?

End justifies the means.

That is, there is some kind of goal. This time.

There are means that are needed to realize this goal. These are two.

And, of course, the means must be adequate to the end - otherwise, how will they work? How will this goal be helped to achieve?

And it probably makes sense to understand that if the goal is desired, but difficult, then the means will have to be used such that require a lot of stress.

Perhaps the kind of tension that we do not experience when the goals are simpler.

That is, for the sake of such a goal, it is not a sin to strain.

After all, a serious goal implies that you will have to take it seriously. Making an effort.

Well, mental or physical, it will depend on the goal.

And on what we personally possess abilities.

And then, maybe, you will have to develop your abilities - well, if the goal is very important for us.

And this is already a positive message - that you will have to grow up and develop in order to achieve this goal!

Do you want us to grow in our abilities and skills? And thus increase the funds available to us?

I guess you usually want to.:)

It can be difficult, though.

But - after all, the end justifies (in a good sense, justifies for compliance) the means - and, therefore, efforts will have to be made.

Well, if the goal is really important to us.

Well, dear friends, if you stop taking this phrase about the end and means, as necessarily about a shameless person, then it actually sounds normal!:)

I would say, quite neutral, if you do not go into consideration of what are the moral principles of a particular person. This is separately.

We just expanded our horizons a little, and then a new attitude was added to the usual.:)

Well, you can say they got rich)) Just kidding:)

And after all, many things, my dear readers, can be looked at more broadly!

The topic, of course, turned out to be somewhat philosophical, but why limit yourself ??:))
