For a war to be just three conditions are necessary - public authority, just cause, right motive.
Interpretation
A just war must meet certain ethical criteria to be considered valid.
Ernest Hemingway highlights the moral framework that justifies a war, stating that it must be sanctioned by a legitimate authority, must arise from a valid cause, and must be driven by honorable motives. This quote encapsulates the ethical considerations behind warfare, emphasizing the importance of justification and morality in the decision to engage in conflict.
In practice
In a debate on military actions, one could reference Hemingway's quote to emphasize the need for ethical considerations.
He no longer dreamed of storms, nor of women, nor of great occurrences, nor of great fish, nor fights, nor contests of strength, nor of his wife. He only dreamed of places now and the lions on the beach. They played like young cats in the dusk and he loved them as he loved the boy. He never dreamed about the boy. He simply woke, looked out the open door at the moon and unrolled his trousers and put them on.

But when the fairy sang the whole world listened to him. Stephen felt clouds pause in their passing; he felt sleeping hills shift and murmur; he felt cold mists dance. He understood for the first time that the world is not dumb at all, but merely waiting for someone to speak to it in a language it understands. In the fairyβs song the earth recognized the names by which it called itself.
No one imagines that a symphony is supposed to improve as it goes along, or that the whole object of playing is to reach the finale. The point of music is discovered in every moment of playing and listening to it. It is the same, I feel, with the greater part of our lives, and if we are unduly absorbed in improving them we may forget altogether to live them.
Slavery, protection, and monopoly find defenders, not only in those who profit by them, but in those who suffer by them.
What we call "normal" is a product of repression, denial, splitting, projection, introjection, and other forms of destructive actions on experience...It is radically estranged from the structure of being.
Solitude lies at the lowest depth of the human condition. Man is the only being who feels himself to be alone and the only one who is searching for the Other.
