Life Fighting teaches the moral how to fight well.

Fighting has gotten a bad name; it should not be so. Fighting itself is neither moral nor immoral; only its object can be said to be so. To be moral is not to fight no one; to be moral is to fight those who vitiate life and civilization. Edward Wilson writes that, if moral aptitude is like every other trait studied to date, it forms a bell curve, has a natural genetic distribution: some human beings are moral, others amoral or immoral. That the moral are far less willing to fight than the immoral has always hurt societies. Many moral advances have consisted not of eschewing force across the board, writes Steven Pinker, but of applying it in carefully measured doses. If we truly wish to make the world a better place, we should sometimes fight.
