'The Means Justifies...'

I have always been left to wonder why things are the way they are.In our society,many things are wrongly accepted.Accepting a so-called 'popular' thing has never helped us.Notorious things that should be avoided are now accepted and lived with.Imagine the outcome.Imagine a situation where a person takes a red-hot coal into his bosom.Will he not expect burns? Actually,he who gathers ant-infested firewood will end up unknowingly calling the lizards for a feast.That is the case with our generation.Many things widely accepted end up being the wrong things.Some say that everything is a matter of choice while others say that things are 'relative'.This mentality has caused many to do the wrong things without any reasonable consideration of the end. Some axioms are mere charades that can only land their victims into serious regrettable conditions.I guess that i may be sounding 'somehow' but never mind.It is very dangerous to be silent while things are going wrong only to regret at last.As the axiom goes,'the end justifies the means',it is believed that the end is the most valued part of a journey compared with the way and path followed.This implies that a person who jumps over the fence just to gain entrance into a place he may be allowed to be is 'right'.Get money and be rich anyhow is another example.Just pass your exams even without reading or writing it yourself.Get the work even with a forged certificate.Build the biggest 'enviable' church even if it means reducing the standards.I am talking about getting whatever you want irrespective of the formula used to do that.This is dependent on the fact that people are desperate for mundane things.Unfortunately,many who tried doing those have regretted their actions or lost their lives. Simply put,the means justifies.Justification is a matter of fairness and the right attitude.It is all about the good reasons for the actions taken.Is getting money a good reason for one to steal? Is getting First Class Honours a good reason for indulging in examination malpractice?Is getting a job a good reason for an employee to have sex with her employer? Is getting political power a good reason to become an assasin? Many so-called successes and achievements have short-lived because they were not done with the right motives.The right reason makes you do the right things. It is only the right thing that can be accepted anywhere,anytime and by any right thinking person.The 'end' is in trouble if the 'means' is bad. An athlete who ran swiftly and won a race will automatically be disqualified if he ran in the wrong track.Dont be deceived,in all aspects of life,the means justifies. Using the wrong formula for solving a problem will culminate to a complication. For a better society,let's change our mentality. Let's do things with the right motives.With God helping,we can always do the right things.Infact,success outside God is simply failure in disguise.
