I’ve been wrestling recently with questions of means and ends, and whether desirable ends ever justify dodgy means. Discussions around this tend to get framed, I think, as a choice between failing while keeping your hands clean or succeeding while compromising your values. I’m not sure this is right, though, since in this scenario I think both options are failures, the main difference being that one is failing while being true to yourself, while the other is failing at being true to yourself.
I don’t think we ever win at anything if we have to lose ourselves in the process.
