    Weapons are tools of ill omen
    Wielded by the ignorant.
    If their use is unavoidable,
    The wise act with restraint.
    The greatest sorrow is to be a Veteran,
    Witness to the atrocities of humanity.
     
    If you hold a real weapon in your hand, you will feel it's character strongly. It begs to be used. It is fearsome. It's only purpose is death, and it's power not only from which it is made but also the intention of it's makers.
    It is regrettable that weapons must sometimes be used, but occasionally, survival demands it. The wise go forth with weapons only as a last resort. They never rejoice in the skill of weapons, nor do they glorify war.
    When death, pain and destruction are visited upon what you hold to be most sacred, the spiritual price is devastating. What hurts more than one's own suffering is bearing witness to the suffering of others. The regret of seeing human beings at their worst and the sheer pain of not being able to help the victims can never be redeemed. If you go personally to war, you cross the line yourself. You sacrifice ideals for survival and the fury of killing. That alters you forever. That is why no one rushes to be a Veteran. Think before you want to change unalterably. the stakes are not merely one's life, but one's very humanity.

    This will help you understand better why Li Mu Bai, in crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, wanted to give away his sword Green Destiny. It also sings about the despair Huo Yuanjia felt at his suicidal moment in Jet Li's fearless. Now I would be lying to you if I said that killing people has not affected me deep in my soul; however, what has affected me even deeper is the death of innocents. The so called casualties of war. I mean the non-combatants that I have had to witness killed maimed displaced and liteally robbed of their sense of safety and normalcy. So, not only would it be natural for a warrior to go to war in place of those who have not experienced it, or to be there to guide the inexperienced through it. There also lies the fact that when one cannot do this he (or she) would attempt suicide; because one's purpose is lost.
