Do you think Horace Danby was unfairly punished, or that he deserved what he got?
Yes, Horace Danby deserved to be punished. After all, a crime is a crime, no matter whether it is committed for one’s own selfish interest or to benefit someone else.
Do intentions justify actions? Would you, like Horace Danby, do something wrong if you thought your ends justified the means? Do you think that there are situations in which it is excusable to act less than honestly?
There is an old and time-tested adage which says, “The ends do not justify the means”. Nobody should harm others to satisfy their own selfish interests. However, we know that the world doesn’t function on idealism alone. There are several examples of trickery where dishonest people trick others for quick gains. Such acts should be condemned and dealt with with severity.
