A most difficult choice, I think.
For every goal, some will choose (a), some (b), and some (c). I can only
hope that each person makes the right choice for himself. Sometimes the goal
is most important. Sometimes the principle is most important. Sometimes the
course of action is most important. Sometimes...the person is most
important.
