CAPSULES: 7 - This is my regular column writing on every Tuesday's to help those who have problems with their own life and to make a story-related article for the benefit of our readers. Many subjects can be brought to light through this column. Why doctors prescribe capsules? Capsules are easier to swallow and are used by manufacturers when the drug can’t be compacted into a solid tablet. They are also useful when the drug needs to be mixed with oil or other liquid to aid absorption in the body. It is normally a shell or container made of gelatin that contains the drug. Like this, In our daily life, there are so many issues which cannot be solved or swallowed by many people. This column will be a weekly wise posting story lines or threads on various issues by me. Today's subject is related with the "The Ultimate goal justifies the means!" -  WILLIAMSJI MAVELI

An enterprise can succeed only if it has a goal. To achieve this goal, an effective method needs to be adopted. The method may be harmless with no violence in it or it can be hard and cruel which calls for a lot of violence. In both cases the goal is the same. Only the method of achieving it is different. The proverb, a very disputable one, means that if the goal is good the methods adopted for achieving it do not matter. It can be good or bad. It may be necessary to use violence sometimes. It will be harmful to some people. But all that can be justified if the goal is good. Some great Indian leaders and thinkers like Mahatma Gandhi have opposed this doctrine. According to them it is not only necessary that goal should be good but the means adopted for achieving it should also. In some countries governments resorts to anything for suppressing riots. When peaceful requests and talk fail to bring about the desired result, they use sheer force to suppress such riots. They argue that it is for the common good of the public. Whatever be the truth, the doctrine "The ultimate goal justifies the means" happens to be very controversial one which provokes much thinking and dispute.
