An old proverb says, “Raise not a war without righteous reason, nor engage in a war without righteous reason”. In ancient time, a “righteous” reason is necessary to launch a troop; otherwise, the troop would be sandwiched. Similarly, it is necessary to make it clear if hitting one cannot be avoided.
When you are faced with a right thing, you can face it without hesitation and cowardice or even sacrifice your interests, then you will have the justice in your mind fulfilled.
