The meaning of life is non-existent. There is no meaning. You just have to live, and try to make it a pleasant life for you and your people and even others if possible, but there is no ulterior meaning to life. You will die. I will die. We will all die. And nothing will have changed.

The meaning of life is a barrel of broken staplers and dried-up pens.

“a blink of an eye in itself is nothing.But the eye that blinks, that is something. A
span of life is nothing. But the man who lives that span, he is something. He
can fill that tiny span with meaning, so its quality is immeasurable though its
quantity may be insignificant… A man must fill his life with meaning, meaning
is not automatically given to life.”

Do what you feel is right. Little story; today I was on the mean streets of S.F.'s Northbeach when some guy hit another in the face with his brass-tipped cane because he was smoking at a bus stop. The smoker got hit hard in the eye, and hunched over with a yell of pain. I walked up to the guy with the cane and hit him in the head. My hand still hurts. Most people upon seeing the cane attack would've just kept walking, even averted their eyes in horror. I decided to even the score for the gangly and illequipped victim who was now moaning in agony.
The interesting thing is, even I suffered due to this encounter, my hand now slightly swelled and throbbing, probably for a few days. I might've even broken it. What does one take away from this? I dunno, stand up for what you believe in even if it hurts? Mind your own business? Don't lay your ass on the line for others; or always defend the weak? Heck if I know, I just wish I'd kicked instead of punched, I'd be less sore.

I think you done the right thing. People should not walk away form violence on the street. If someone is getting attacked, it's right to intervene.

Hope your hand feels better soon.
My only reservation is if a martial arts expert damages his hand during an intervention then what injury do mere mortals risk? Somehow I don't think my yellow-belt in Ori Ga-Mi (circa 1971) is going to be of much protection on the mean streets of this bucolic Hampshire village when things take a turn for the worse just because the some codger has booted a kid up the arse for wearing a loud shirt in public.

There's some sort of code that scholars haven't yet deciphered in OP's by condor they believe it will be the meaning of life or a cure for the common cold
