Moderately Extreme-Do the Ends Justify the Means?-Spankbelly
http://1amwhat1am.multiply.com/journal/item/44/Ends_Justifies_The_Means
If your cause is victorious the ends always justify the means.
Unless in bringing about those ends you have done more wrong than that which you were fighting.
More than all wrongs done and will be done, by that which you did vanquish.
If you are not victorious all your efforts have been wasted.
All your plans, all the blood of yours and theirs.
Better to overkill and win the day. Least you be too gentle and lose it all.
If you are not willing to do what must be done to win, sit down and shut up.
For in the end you will be sat and silenced anyway.
By those who are willing to do what must be done.
And you will have lost your cause, lost yourself, lost those foolish enough to follow a leader of weakness, lost all of yours and theirs you sacrificed along the way to nowhere and to nothing.
If the cause is not worth the price of losing, and not worth the price of winning, it was not worth fighting for.
What value is morality of action, if it prevents action that brings morality evermore?
