Human nature is such that all acts are justified by the mind of the actor. Human acts derive from mind...

Naturally, ALL acts can be revisited, reinterpreted, and otherwise reconsidered. There is infinite room for conjecture and dispute AFTER the fact, as well as BEFORE the fact. But the act was "justified" at the time, and it is really what matters. The act trumps a later opinion every time...

I'm in the middle on this one. Make a choice and resolve the moment. Such comes with the justification that one has to choose in order to move with the moment. There may be an inkling or lingering of doubt. There is even the likelihood of new conflict that springs from the choice and carries its own life. Moment to moment we justify ourselves as we participate according to our condition with the will to act on our circumstances.
