"...maybe a man is better when he is a dangerous man who's being good than if he was just a good man who wasn't capable of being dangerous. The best men I've ever met are very dangerous men."

It's being capable of using a sword, but choosing not to. It's being capable of doing absolute acts of violence, but choosing peace. Your fuzzy animal statement makes me think of the PussNBoots cat from Shrek. We need to be like him. Those big loving eyes quickly followed by a wily intellect and a very sharp sword.

I completely agree with you.
