Quote:One more thing: After a swordplay demonstration, a little boy came up and was asking about the swords we were using. He wanted to know why the sword was made of metal? And why we were using swords to begin with - why were we trying to hurt each other? It was a profound moment, and even more difficult to explain, to a child who had little comprehension of violence....very profound.Which begs the question.. how did you explain it?
