A consequentialist is someone who seeks to connect every conclusion to both motives and intentions. They have different attitudes towards giving up. The judgment of value by linking the beginning and the end also varies. For example, if it is said that a person is born and must die, it is argued that something that is not born is better anyway, or that death is the culmination of life, so it is not negative to die as soon as one is born. They make pessimistic judgments and draw radical conclusions by viewing a microscopic situation macroscopically or, conversely, by examining a macroscopic situation microscopically. Consequentialists see the assistance of those around them as mere tools. Their pleasure comes from winning over others for a plausible cause, and victory is seen as success and achievement. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

We often find that the more intelligent people are critical of the world. However, a wise person does not use their superior abilities to blame others but to help others. When used foolishly, superior abilities can harm the world; when used wisely, they can help the world. Superior intelligence should not be judged by the extent or depth of its knowledge, but by the fruit it produces. Most of the world's abilities are judged by the value of their use rather than their effectiveness of utilization. A tree should be evaluated by its fruit, not its roots or trunk. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
