Understanding: You need to understand the situation, the people involved, the cause, and reasonably predict various outcomes of various actions to pick the best course of action available to you. You need intelligence in both senses of the word, your own or others to guide you, but if the latter, you still need to think for yourself at all times.
Precision force: You need a powerful scalpel to apply your understanding where it is needed and not elsewhere too by accident.
Steel nerves: You need to be able to apply the precision force via a correct understanding of the situation, and sometimes that does call for death or other less savory things. Life is not a comic, sparing live just to spare life can easily backfire sometimes. Though one must never forget the laws of unintended consequences and that no one can know everything, so one must use this sparingly as a last resort with specific knowledge.
Love: Without love you can not appreciate what you are fighting for. Especially with steel nerves, without love to temper that to keep it always as a last resort, you can easily become lost. Love can allow you to see and keep the big picture in mind. Without love to strengthen you, difficult decisions and experiences can render you psychotic.
There you go, my quadpeace principles. Any of you have ideas like this of your own or feedback for mine?
