The capacity for mature ethical judgement is an important characteristic of a wise person. It needs conscious cultivation and practice to acquire this practical wisdom. The three main factors to be considered in making ethical judgements are:
- The motive from which the action springs
- The nature of the act itself, including the means adopted
- The resulting consequences
If the intention is not good, bona fide and honest then the actual act cannot be justified normally, even if the act itself is seen to be noble and its consequences beneficial.
