for all my soldiers out there.
"I have just come to a realization. this scroll by broken sword contains no secrets of his swordsmanship.what this reveals is his hightest ideal.
in the first stage, man and sword become one and each other. Here, even a blade of grass can be used as a lethal weapon.
in the next stage, the sword resides not in the hand but in the heart. Even without a weapon, the warrior can slay his enemy from a hundred paces.
But the ultimate ideal is when the sword disapears all together. The warrior embraces all around him. The desire to kill no longer exists.Only peace remains.
...Your majesty, a dead man begs you never forget the ultimate ideal of a warrior."
may you find peace one day, at last, from all your battles and all your enemies, both from without and within.
