So the implementation of the wisdom was that, we defend ourselves or to uphold the honor as servants of a glorious existence. So, the glory of man is to be defended so do not let anyone persecute each other among humans.

If there is no reality, in times past, dueling one glove relationship with the settlement of a conflict which can not but have to pull out the dagger with sheath to enter the versus is a symbolic, pengukuh for the glory of man as man. Well, to do with it, then what is called a duel? The duel is often associated as a physical fight. Duel is identical with the physical battle. Whereas here, the more substantial, is the spirit of the duel itself, that behind it there is the glory that is enforced.

So enforcement of siri and pacce by a demonstration in a symbolic fight gloves should we interpret a bond between fellow human beings. In the there is a conflict of 2 people not bad or we can not hate our enemies. We can not exploit your opponent's in animals, the hatred, that the existence of cultural wisdom Bugis-Makassar. What does the term Sipakatau was described in everyday behavior, including cultural attitudes at the time of emergency called conflict. Inside The conflict we have to humanize humans.
 

If we bring it into the modern world like today how we repeat what was said by experts of world culture such as "We can not create a present or future without any history or past". So history is a teacher or a committee that gives us wisdom-wisdom.
So to create a new civilization, cultural attitudes need to be there for "Discover The New In The Old". Finding something new, through the process of entry into the old cultures.
