As extracted from a popular anime:
"Sword is a weapon , swordmanship is the art of killing - no matter how we disguise it the fact does not change."
What it meant is this - that a sword is createdas a tool of murder, that learning swordsmanship is equivalent to learning how to kill. That, is the purpose of a sword.
Then, what is the purpose of a human, an individual? What does life, the continual existance of us represent? My friend's blog mentioned about the concept of nihilism, which basically suggests that life is empty and that we all just live and die. Would you subscribe to such a theory? If then, why do you think likewise? If not, then what do you define as your purpose in life?
Mine? I'm still thinking about it. How about you?
