A true warrior does not fight because he wishes to but because he has to. A man who yearns for war, a man who enjoys his killing, he is a brute and a monster. No matter how much glory he wins on the battlefield, that cannot erase the fact that he is no better than a rabid wolf who will turn on his friends and family as soon as his foes.

Image

Rudyard Kipling
Image
Now what is it moves our very hearts, and sickens us so much at cruelty shown to poor brutes?
