Physical weakness easily turns into decisive factor between dueling
combatants, but it is equally important to be emotionally prepared for war.
The soldiers who show mercy to the enemy may be revered by their beneficial
gods, but not by their commanders. Honourable traits, such as compassion and
forgiveness, are traits that belong to a priest rather than a warrior.
Inability to withstand emotional pressure is as crucial weakness as is
inability to wield a sword. Those who make the mistake of trusting the enemy
regardless of how sincere their intentions might seem are always putting their
own life on the line. And those who know how to feign remorse often take
advantage of it - with deadly consequences.
