Vices and Virtues: Ethical Dilemmas of a Fading Man

When Stewart let go of his pride for himself and his companion, he encountered an ethical dilemma. At O'Donnell Camp, we learn Japanese as "we understand them and they understand us" (Stewart, 96-97). One day on business, "a guard sat seated next to us" sat down (Stewart, 101). A security guard in the forest showed pictures of his wife and daughter (Stewart, 101). "I praised them, we talked to him to make it impossible to accompany the Japanese for a while" (Stewart, 101).

For example, courage is virtue. But those who have too much courage (excessive vice) are pretty dry. A brave man (lack of surrogacy) is a coward. People who fight at the midpoint between the two extremes show good character. They are showing the right virtue in every situation. This is called golden meaning.
