“By and large, it seems to me a pretty fair generalization that people who achieve great good ends manage not to find excuses for all that much evil along the way.”
I mean, if they really achieved great good ends and those ends have more positive utility than the negative utility of the evil along the way wouldn’t this be a case where the end actually justifies the means?

I don’t understand this sentence:
“By and large, it seems to me a pretty fair generalization that people who achieve great good ends manage not to find excuses for all that much evil along the way.”
I mean, if they really achieved great good ends and those ends have more positive utility than the negative utility of the evil along the way wouldn’t this be a case where the end actually justifies the means?
