I can’t answer that question.

Proverbs 28:1
The wicked flee when no man pursueth:
but the righteous are bold as a lion.

A man who is right has something to fight for.

Jude 1:3
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

On the other hand…

Proverbs 26:12
Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit?
there is more hope of a fool than of him.

Proverbs 18:17
He that is first in his own cause seemeth just;
but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.


There are people who think they are right and will fight for it even if they are wrong.


I would flip it and say that the man who is right is the man who can fight.
But that also doesn’t mean Wyatt Earp style all the time.
There are different ways to fight, the best ways don’t include black eyes.

Well, if you have ever watched that episode, then you would know that the quote is about physical fighting. And Sheriff Taylor wins the argument by using knowledge from a book. Thus, disproving the idea that "the man who can fight is the man who is right"(physically).
