There's a roleplaying game I really like, Werewolf: The Apocalypse. One of the things I like most from that game is the differing ways of viewing morality. (Werewolves worship Gaia, a religion that is quite different from Christianity because Gaia is not a moral force, she is a force of life, loved and necessary, but more concerned for and needing balance than morality.) But, in one of the supplements, the Book of the City, there's a set of rules that city-dwelling werewolves use in addition to the laws for all werewolves.
In that is included "don't just fight evil, do good."
Sure, killing a thousand corrupted spirits will stop them from killing a few people and get people telling stories about you. But, finding the injustice that causes that corruption in the first place and righting it... that makes the real difference.
