What are some real - life examples of the 'ends justify the means story'?

The 'ends justify the means' is a concept where the final outcome is considered more important than the methods used to achieve it. For example, in a business context, a company might cut corners on environmental regulations (unethical means) to make a large profit (the end). However, this is a controversial idea as it often involves sacrificing ethics or the well - being of others.

One way is through a character's decision - making. For instance, if a character wants to protect their clan at all costs, they might engage in underhanded tactics like spying on other clans. The end goal of protecting their own makes them justify these actions in their mind.

Sure. In Naruto fanfic, the 'ends justify the means' can be a central theme. Some fanfic authors explore how characters like Naruto or Sasuke could be pushed to their limits and consider using extreme measures for what they believe is a greater good. Maybe Naruto has to sacrifice some of his principles to stop a powerful villain who is about to destroy the ninja world. This shows that the concept can be used to add depth to the characters and the plot.

There are those who leave their small hometowns (like Moana left her island) to pursue bigger dreams in the city. They face challenges and uncertainties but keep their spirit high. For instance, a person from a rural area moves to a big city to study marine biology because of their love for the ocean, similar to Moana's love for the sea and her adventure on it.

One real - life fail could be failing to save money. You had a goal to save a certain amount in a year, say for a vacation or a down payment on a house. But unplanned expenses kept popping up, and you couldn't resist impulse buying. Another example is failing to learn a new skill. You bought all the materials and enrolled in a course, but you lacked the discipline to practice regularly, so you never really mastered it.

One example could be a person who becomes overly possessive and jealous in a relationship. They might start monitoring their partner's every move, like constantly checking their phone or following them around. This kind of behavior can be quite disturbing and is similar to the yandere concept.

One example could be a person in a workplace who becomes overly possessive of a colleague. They start to monitor the colleague's every move, get jealous if they talk to others, and even try to sabotage relationships the colleague has with other coworkers. It's a real - life manifestation of yandere - like behavior where the possessiveness and jealousy are extreme.

One 'for life real story' could be about a person who overcame a serious illness. For example, Jane was diagnosed with cancer at a young age. Instead of giving up, she fought hard. She changed her lifestyle, ate healthy, and stayed positive. Through years of treatment and her unwavering will, she finally beat cancer and now lives a fulfilling life, inspiring others to never lose hope in the face of difficulties.

Look at the story of Oprah Winfrey. She faced many challenges growing up but went on to build an incredibly successful media empire through hard work and determination.

In 'The Count of Monte Cristo', Edmond Dantes uses somewhat devious means to exact revenge on those who wronged him. His end goal was justice for the unjust treatment he received, but he used disguise, manipulation, and planned the downfall of his enemies. Another example could be Macbeth in Shakespeare's play. He kills the king to gain the throne, believing that being king would be a great end for him, but of course, his means were highly immoral and led to his own downfall in the end.
