The ends do not justify the means. If our actions will bring harm to others, even in the service of some 'good,' they are almost certainly deluded.

Only to the extent that we act from the wisdom of no separation, understanding how we are woven together, will our intention bring benefit. ~ Jack Kornfield

It is a simple matter to see the obvious, to do the expected. The tendency of the individual life is to be static rather than dynamic, and this tendency is made into a propulsion by civilization, where the obvious only is seen, and the unexpected rarely happens.

They do not see what is not obvious, are unable to do the unexpected, are incapable of adjusting their well-grooved lives to other and strange grooves. In short, when they come to the end of their own groove, they die. ~ Jack London
