“'It'll be all right, my fine fellow,' said the Otter. 'I'm coming along with you, and I know every path blindfold; and if there's a head that needs to be punched, you can confidently rely upon me to punch it.'” ― Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows
A man needs to be the kind of person who is willing to punch the heads that need punching and the kind of person who can tell the difference. Too often the head punchers don't use or have discernment and the those with discernment don't have the mettle to melee.
We need more men, like Phinehas, who have the chutzpah to act in severity when it is clear (Numbers 25:7-13) and the caution to ask questions when it's not (Joshua 22:13-32). In other words, we need more men who punch the right heads and refrain from punching the wrong ones.
