What is End?

Throughout my life, I used to think that the position of "The Ends Justifies the Means" was a valid premise, since the End would of course be noble. I have done a complete 180 on this recently. First, who defines the ends? But more importantly, I have come to realize that the Means is actually the Journey and the only End on Earth is Death of the physical body. Every choice I make has to be justified in itself. We are all on a Journey, and our blessing is gaining an opportunity to express the love of God to others on their Journey. The Ends never justify the means, for the means is in itself the end.
