My Ideology

I am a person of very few values and ideals. Perhaps my one great ideal is that "the ends justify the means." This Machiavellian principle is something that many people frown upon as being cold, and while there is certainly some truth to that, I don't believe it is a bad way to lead a lifestyle. Critics of such an approach argue that living one's life by this ideal would lead to breaches in morals; however, people such as myself who subscribe to this belief have a very loose interpretation of morals anyway. I would not say that I would go to ANY lengths to achieve my goals, but I do believe I would be willing to go quite a bit further than most. As long as the end result is just, then the methods to attain this goal are acceptable.
