On the Human Justification
It is in human nature for us to need justification for our actions, for us to know whether our choices were right or wrong and to know whether we should have chosen another, simpler or more complex path.
A human being has come across a problem, a conflict, and with this conflict the human being must overcome it and continue on. So, the human being asks himself, “By what means am I to overcome this conflict?” And so, the human mind follows through with hypothetical situations and circumstances attempting to find the best, most appropriate solution to the conflict. Of course, some choices may be good and moral, and others may be sinful but accommodating. In the end, the human being is successful in overcoming the conflict, but in afterthought the human being wonders, “How do I justify the things which I have done?” And the next and final thought to the human mind is justification: what is it here and where can it be found? The human mind resolves that there is only one place where this can be found, and it is in the results, the end. “The end always justifies the means,” says the human being, and he walks away and further into the plains of life.
What a pity that it is.
