Revenge is never the best driver for a battle, but a common one.
You're not one to take lightly, to love of for an evening and leave of a dawn.
This was what men fought for, what men died for: a chance at life, and to fight on other days - the battle of your choice, of the body, or the heart, or the soul.
Valor was in Nikodemos, unquestionable, and commitment like trees to stand or night to fall.
Fight for life itself and everlasting freedom of the human spirit.
Men live, and then they die. It is the quality of the process of living which matters, that and that alone.
