兵者，所以禁暴除害也
战争是为了制止横暴、消除祸害。中国古人认为战争是违背人性的凶事，是不得已而采取的非正常手段，如果迫不得已而采取战争手段，也并非流于一般意义上的你争我夺、打打杀杀，而是坚持战争目的的正义性。这种战争观至今仍闪耀着人文主义的光辉。
War Is Fought to Stop Violence and Eliminate Evil
The aim of war is to stop violence and eliminate evil. The people in ancient China regarded war as a violent action contrary to human nature, to be taken only as a last resort. If war was inevitable, it should be fought to uphold justice. This view of war still holds true today.
