The statement contends that if a goal is worthy enough then any means taken to attain it are justifiable. The issue stated is very subjective in nature as the phrase "any means taken" can be interpreted in many ways. Also, it depends on the goal that one is trying to achieve, categorizing it in two broad areas: Personal and Societal.
If a goal relates to the society as a whole, or if it is going to benefit an entire nation, then any means taken to achieve it are justifiable. For example, Narendra Modi, prime minister of India, had a vision of developing Gujarat, a state in India. This vision, and if turns out to be successful can be considered as worthy for an entire state of people. Hence, measures taken like blocking roads for metro construction, traffic became a big problem. But this problem wasn't bigger than the goal, therefore it is justifiable. Alongwith this, other means that included collecting extra taxes from taxpayers for the upliftment and well-being of indigents, living in villages far away from city area, was done to achieve a goal of mollifying the electricty cut-off and water shortage problems that were faced by them.
Conversely, if a goal can be categorised as personal, then there can be several factors to be considered before coming to a conclusion whether any means taken to chieve the same are justifiable or not. Considering a primary school student having a goal of achieveing good marks in a particular examination, the first and easiest solution that comes to his/her mind is copying. This goal can be achieved in several other ways like studying hard, or say understanding the core concepts by attaining extra classes. Hence, the means taken by that primary level kid is not justifiable.
Additionally, a personal level goal like achieving a target in business, which would at first seem plausible, but if achieved, can be benefial to many, and thus can be considered as worthy enough that any steps taken to attain it are justifiable. For example, if sales of a certain product needs to be increased, then various measures taken can include, increased price of that product or increased level of awareness for that product through advertisment, which are very basic but if it includes something like removing the unworthy staff of the company and replacing it with the better ones, that could cause problem to a few, but it is justifibale as long as the goal is concerned.
To recapitulate, if a goal is worthy enough, any means taken to attain it are justifiable, unless ans until it doesn't cause harm to a potential level. Alongwith it, several factors should be considered before coming to a direct conclusion.
