medicine sans frontiers is an example of an organisation that does good deeds for no ulterior motive, and finishes with good results.

The quote was about good people doing bad things anyway, so this is veering a little bit away from where my I intended to take it.

It's called Doctors Without Borders. stop capitulating to the french.

The point is, i'm sure there are plenty of doctors that are also pedophiles and wife beaters and rude assholes that are just horrible human beings. but they do good.

Does it matter why they do good? does it matter, if they do good just to get rich? or just to please their imaginary god? if they do it just out of their own thrill seeking? does it matter? Is their work any less good?

Perhaps some doctors just enjoy cutting into human flesh. does that make their life saving surgery any less good?

If we judged everything by motivation, what would survive that standard?
