One of the wisest characters in the Lord of the Rings is Faramir, who utters the quote “I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.” This shows how the weapon should not determine the man who wields it, but the other way around, for the person should know when to be just and forgiving, and when to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.
