I can honestly say you can learn a valuable lesson from Conan the Barbarian.
What is the riddle of steel, is really what is the meaning of life.
To keep it simple, his father was wrong, he said "Conan you can trust this" (the sword his father forged) Yet that sword ends up killing his own mother and eventually snaps.
Then Thulsa Doom says Flesh is the answer. It is more powerful than steel. Yet, that sword that was broken render his flesh/head from his body. He was wrong as well.
The real answer and one that Conan figures out at the end even if he does not say it....
That is "WILL" is everything. Blade/Flesh/ is nothing with out a human with enough will to continue to push through adversity. What good is a sword with no hand and will to use it for it's intended purpose. The hand being flesh, the sword being steel. It is really the Riddle of Will...
Most of us learn this lesson too late in life. I beg you all if you have sons teach them this lesson asap.
Take care brothers...
