...the end is always the same, how is the end justified by the means?
1 + 7 = 8
2 + 6 = 8
3 + 5 = 8
4 + 4 = 8
Which Math operation would you consider better to justify the end?

The final option is somewhat more equitable.

If I am the person with 1 and you have 7, then you'd say that the end justifies the means as because we end up with 8, it doesn't matter that I have alot less than you do.
I would say that the 1+7=8 displays the concept of the ends justifying the means.

Brilliant! Reminds me of the quotation, " the Lord works in mysterious ways"! We're all different, that's for sure. I asked a question on here last night. It was, "God is a hot, fresh apple pie, and Satan is a Glade plug in" Any one have any other good metaphors for them, if so what?, and one person got offended, while someone else said it made them smile, so go figure!

The last one is a little more balanced. You know 4 an 4. Just sort of speaks to me.

5+3=8
6+2=8
7+1=8
7.5+.5=8
7.75+.25=8
and so on

The end justifying the means is one of Satan's craftiest lies and illusions.
It is not Biblical principle.

I hate to assume anything, but why is this question in the R&S section and not mathematics section?

Well I don't profess to be a mathematician or anything but I like this one, it appears that infinity is the answer......
