Strength

   A harmless man cannot protect peace.

   Only a man capable of violence…

   and strong enough to control it can.

   A man who has no capability for cruelty or violence is WEAK.

   A man who has cruelty and violence but cannot control them

   is the WEAKEST of all.

   But a man who understands DARKNESS…

   who has the capability of becoming a MONSTER…

   and learns to control it

   that is a GREAT MAN.

   — Friedrich Nietzsche explored this philosophy

     in Beyond Good and Evil.

   — Hajime Isayama borrowed similar ideas in

     Attack on Titan and pushed them even further

     through characters like Armin and Eren.

   — Miyamoto Musashi spoke about this through

     discipline, violence and mastery in

     The Book of Five Rings.

   — And Krishna guided Arjuna through the same

     conflict in the Bhagavad Gita.

   Also, “Dharma” does not simply mean religion.

   Dharma means:

      • Duty

      • Responsibility

      • Morality

      • And standing for what is right

        even when it becomes painful
