    Thanks for the feedback. I try to get people aware of things that matter that most people don't think of too much.

    No I have not heard of them. The sword of truth analogy comes from the Bible:

    "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn " 'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law-- a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.' Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me. "
    - Mat 10:34-40

    Truth is "Love". "Love" is Truth. Truth unites. Lies divide. Embrace Truth. Care for Truth.

    Alright, thanks for the clarification. The books are called "The Sword of Truth Series" fantasy, my favourite, so much truth in fantasy books, and the metaphors, especially in book 6 are outstanding. Your biblical quote reminded me of an OSHO quote, and my favourite of his:

    "For the criminals I am a sword, and for the victims I am a lotus. I am both together. In one hand I have a sword, in the other hand I have a lotus flower. - OSHO"
