Fearfully Opinionated has written a great post that really adds to the discussion on the proposed pay increase for civil servants and ministers.
To hopefully add something about his discussion on consequentialism and deontological ethics, I would like to share a quote from Gandhi,
“The means may be likened to a seed, the end to a tree: and there is just the same inviolable connection between the means and the end as there is between the seed and the tree.”
When I first read this quote, my thinking changed and while one can argue the ends would justify the means, I believe that eventually, the end would not be the one we envisioned because of the very means we took.
Anyway, go and read the post by him. It is good.
