\u201cThat means you\u2019re my bodyguard . . . until you decide to kill me?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be silly. I would submit a formal verdict, quit the position, and then give you time for goodbyes. I couldn\u2019t just kill you while I was on the job. There\u2019s a process for these sorts of things.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

kindness is, in fact, the very opposite of weakness. Kindness is a display of strength<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To let an opponent walk away when one has the chance to kill them requires you to be sure, absolutely certain, that your power is great enough they won\u2019t strike again. If they do, and you lose people you love in the process, then what you had wasn\u2019t strength at all, it was hubris.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
