I have been under the weather almost, for the past week. During my time spent in bed when I just have tons of times to think, I can think about a lot of different crazy things. I know that my stream of consciousness is hard to follow if you aren't in my head. Well, I got to thinking about another phrase that people use all of the time and may not have really put any thought into its actually meaning.
The end justifies the means. The end justifies the means? The end justifies the means! Having the time to sit and ponder the meaning of this phrase I have, once again, come up with my own understanding. The end doesn't really need to be explained any further. We all know when something is at the end. Oh, maybe that is not true. I have stayed in situations way beyond the expiration date. There have been times that the end didn't smack me hard enough for me to move on. I have a sneaking suspicion that I am not the only person that has made that terribly wrong decision. Maybe then I should talk a little bit about noticing when something is at the end.
The end of any thing means you have reached the line of boundary. For example, if you are in a relationship that you expected would progress beyond being the jump-off, and it has been two years and you are still only receiving calls after 12 midnight and you aren't asked to meet any friends, family, co-workers or even acquaintances; you are ready to leave which means this is the end, you have reached your boundary, the line has been drawn in the sand and it has been crossed so you are through. This is the end of your jump-off status; regardless of whether or not the other person sees the error of their ways and asks you to be in a meaningful relationship, your end is upon you. Therefore, the end is the finale, you are no longer going to allow yourself to remain in what ever your situation is. This is how you know that you have reached your end. This is the end.
To justify something means that you are willing to prove whatever it is that you have to show proof on. I am the age that I am. In order for some people to believe this I have to justify my statement by proving my age. I would do this by showing them my driver's license. The statement has been justified by the proof. That brings me to the end of the saying-the means.
The means is the purpose you had in mind. When you have accomplished the goal you have set forth in your mind then that is the means. Therefore the saying says, "the end justifies the means" so what the saying means is that the proof of you reaching your goal is that you are at the end. This is definitely a saying that I like now that I have full understanding of what it's meaning is. I like that there are still things that are black and white;that there is a right and a wrong. Reaching your goal is how you know that you are at the end. That is a good one and this is the end!
