A wise man asked 'do you want revenge or what's best for your people, because someday you will have to choose.' There are always choices to be made, decisions to debate, losses to asses. It is often that the most logical choice seems the most unsatisfying. Walking away from an unwinnable fight, taking the high moral ground when you shouldn't have to, choosing to handicap yourself for the sake of principal; these are all decisions that emotions tell us should go the other way. We should fight for pride, walk in shadows, and never hold back. Yet we do. We make the "logical" choice. Who would blame us, blame anyone, for using their great power in so wise a manner.
