Consequences are the results, direct or indirect, of one’s action. However, it would be foolhardy to construe that if the consequences are good then whatever the actions be, are justified. There is an open debate on whether the end justifies the means. If such is the case then one can justify any means and methods as long as the consequences are ideal.
