Issue No.212
212: "If a goal is worthy, then any means taken to attain it is justifiable."
Sages and so-called experts has been told us that result is more important than process which best explained the issue that worthy goals worth any means to chase. Admittedly, there is some reasons in their arguent like the society values people only the final result no the maybe interesting process, however, we may find that there are some unconvicing points in the issue if we take those into account: the social order, humanity and peace.
Coming first to indicate that if the goal is worthy for an individual or a group of presons to seek, while the means that was used do harm to the society or lead the society into an astray, in short, if it break the social order, as I view, no space of toleration are allowed. We cannot hope that each person to achieve her noblest goal through the noblest means which generally consider to be the idealist way while also the least possible way, that does mean that low means or dirty ways are permitted to pollute the the social fields. For instance, as we all konw, the world has been troubled by the Qaeda and their terror attack for a long long time, then we may question--can we use nuclear weapon to tame them down cause by doing this we save a large amount of military expenditure as well as many lives of the soldiers who are our brothers and sisters, and the answer, of course, is impossible because once the using of bombs restart, hardly can it be stopped and finally cause the extinction of humankind. So compare our goal and the by-product of this unpleasant means, we may confidently sum that-think twice before action is pretty essential.
The second we come to confirm that humanity plays an important role in the process one set a goal and achieve it if put morals satisfaction beyond material comforts, in opposite, if the relationship of these two were turn over it may cause disaster. During the medieval period, the Roman Catholic Church ruled Europe and collecting money by using their power to set a kind of volume atonement that could release people's stress. We cannot wonder the kindness of their initaite purpose, but the only problem is the means they use cause collapse of the society, and the fallen of humanity. As the adovation of hamanity due to the outbreak of Renaissance and the Enlighten Movement, soon this cruel dictatorship ended. then important it is for us to value the means we choose to realize our goal if more advantages we want to benefit.
The last but not the least, Peace is another crucial aspect we need to consider if we refuse repeat trageties. Turn to history, we may find just because of unfairly divident of conolies, there breaks the First World War, while the copy of this war, The Second World War, was the tragety of revenge. Clearly we can see that their goals are preety simple--to seek fortune and power for the their nations also for indvidual persons, and their means is even more common--by force, while the result is devastative and destructive--millions of people dies and billions of dollars vanished. So peace, without any daunts, support my point of view that not all means are worth to process for an worthy goal.
To sum up, due to the above mentioned reasons, which sometimes correlate with each other to generate an integrate whole and thus become more convincing than any single one of them, we may be comfortable to say that not any means is justifiable to taken to attain even if a goal is worthy when we take peace, social order and humanity into consideration. |
