RE: Is there any moral justification for ''the ends justify the means''?

Thank you for your reply. I agree that the Bill Gates argument is maybe a bit extreme and can raise other arguments that are off topic. The point is indeed that, as you say,"we should do good at all times irrespective of what we get in return". In this regards, it goes without saying, that "good" should be framed in a perspective of the collective, not the self.

Yeah ! My modification to your position: 'good' should be framed in a perspective of the collective which includes the 'self'. You cannot separate and individual from his/her actions. So collectivism in the aspect include the person in question.

Thanks 👍

We are completely on the same page in that regards! I put it like that only to emphasize that the "good" should not be framed in a selfish way.

Thank you for your valuable input.
