The greatest man is a savage. But one whose savagery answers to something greater than himself. He must be capable of doing the ugly thing in the name of good. Otherwise, he must watch good be tarnished by evil, in the name of cowardice.

Excellent, just one little note: The cruel can’t by definition be merciful at the same time, no? cowardly acting because of possible consequences is something else, it’s fear for the self, not mercy.

Yamaoka Tesshu is considered Japan's greatest swordsman. When he gained mastery he lay down his sword and faced his opponents with a wooden training sword even though they faced him with a live blade. Perhaps you should rethink your position. Most Japanese historians suggest that Miyamoto was not a single person but several. Tesshu proved that compassion was a greater force than violence.
