You are thought taught that the ends justify the means.
The ends DO justify the means. If the ends are unjust, then it does not matter what means are used. If the ends are just and the means are insufficient, then an injustice occurs. It is only when the end is just and the means sufficient that justice prevails.
Bad means always produce another unjust end even if the primary end is just.
If one wrongs someone along the way and that person survived, that person WILL remember it and WILL hold a grudge. From there on in the question becomes IF the wronged person will seek revenge in order to make sure they one who wronged them will feel hurt just as bad.
