What is the meaning of 'the end does not justify it'?
First answer (not true):"The end does not justify the means" means that what ever effort or what ever reason you had for doing some thing was not was not justified, because the end result was not what you wanted. And so all of the time and effort to reach that end was wasted.True answer:"The end justifies the means" is a phrase which means that, if you have a goal, it does not matter how you reach it, as long as you reach it. For example, say that your goal is to get an A on a test. If you believe that the end justifies the means, cheating on the test to get the A does not matter to you. All that matters is that you got the A."The end DOES NOT justify the means" is a phrase meaning that you must take a moral route to reach your goal. You cannot break the rules or do anything bad in order to reach your goal. If you wish to get an A on a test and you believe that the end DOES NOT justify the means, you would probably study or use legitimate means to get the A on the test.

May you understand that the ends do not justify the means because there are no ends there are only means?
No. This is like saying that there are no objectives to achieve, only achieving. "Ends" are objectives. "I am trying to get the cap off this jar" is an expression of an objective. The means to the end are the method you use to get to the objective: running the jar under hot water, banging it with a knife handle, wearing rubber gloves for better traction, using a saw to remove the cap are all possible means to achieve that end. Therefore it is impossible that "there are no ends; there are only means." There cannot be means without an end. There can be no method of attaining an objective unless there is an objective. It's like saying there is a cause without an effect; if it has no effect, it cannot be a cause. The key word in "the ends do not justify the means" is the word "justify". This saying is all about moral justification, not the connection between means and end. If you are trying to raise money to give to former Ugandan child soldiers, you could have a door-to-door campaign, start a viral internet video, or work a second job. You could also raise money by robbing a bank, insuring your father's life, then killing him, or selling your sister into slavery. All of these are means to the end of raising money for Ugandan child soldiers. Some of these methods are morally wrong, however, and they don't become morally right because they were means to a noble and charitable end. So, the conversation might go as follows: "You sold your sister into slavery??" "It was for a good cause." "I don't care how good the cause was, it was wrong. The ends don't justify the means."

The Means justify the end?
The phrase is "the end justifies the means." That means that you think that it is ok to do something nasty if the long range result is good. Taken too far, this can be a very bad policy. The reverse wording, "the means justify the end" makes no sense. "Means" means the method you use to accomplish your goal. Is this suggesting that no matter how evil your goal, it is ok if you use virtuous methods to accomplish it? How is such a thing possible?
